It's only a matter of time — perhaps literally just weeks — before they come for anyone that opposes them. No one is safe. Some are only temporarily safer. They're not aware of that yet but they will be soon.

@jkirkendall Thank you for spreading the story. It's devastating and hopeful at the same time. You have a good friend.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?" -- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

@jkirkendall Reminds me of this poem

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

@jkirkendall Trump is in opposition to the ideology of “government by the people and for the people”. The people’s plan is to win back their control through the electoral process. We all wait with bated breath.

For those who find themselves confronted by a situation involving ICE (as a witness for example) but don't have a ton of help to offer, two basic actions you can take are:

1) film the abduction

2) If there are family members or friends left behind, provide them with the footage as critical evidence and at a minimum you can give them this resource: icerrt.com

This site provides state and national contacts for different immigrant defense groups like the ACLU etc.

There are multiple times I have seen Jewish people say this both in the United States and in Germany, individuals are terrified of the idea that as the offspring of holocaust survivors, they are faced with the prospect of being jailed as antisemites for opposition to a genocide.

From what I recall of the individual being interviewed, he said, I am being stripped of my identity and then jailed

Also, for anyone at risk, this is very useful website that has an interactive map showing many locations of Flock cameras. Useful if a person wants to create routes to mitigate being tracked: https://deflock.org/

I'm a citizen,born here but I'm married to an immigrant with an immigrant step kiddo. ICE was caught on camera taking someone only a few streets away on Tuesday. We are terrified. We've lived terrified for a couple years now.

@jkirkendall ICE is a terrorist organization by any measure; they need to be disbanded and prosecuted for their attacks on our citizens.

[jkirkendall@wandering.shop]

@ShadesofRaye Oh man. I am so, so sorry. Sending you and your family support.
