December 21, 1919 the country’s first mass deportation of political dissidents in the 20th century

“One by one the deportees marched, flanked on each side by the uniformed men, curses and threats accompanying the thud of their feet on the frozen ground.” ~ Emma Goldman

Mass deportation needs to be resisted by any means necessary.

The way we stopped Trump's 2019 "family operation" of urban streets was to mobilize to go head to head in the streets against ICE. This meant that if matters escalated ICE raid teams could urban strehave had to fight an entire neighborhood or even an entire city. Every time we stepped up, they stood down. Each time they did, Trump self-doxxed the next attempt, naming cities and weekends. Finally, Van Spronson's sacrifice broke ICE's morale and put an end to this crap.

I was there in DC (one of the name "sanctuary cities) in 2019, riding bike scout hunting so much as the shadow of ICE while our forces built up nearby. Rode into back alleys and parking lots, all were clean every time as ICE's jackbooted stormtroopers chumped out. Nobody likes to raid into a position where they are expected, facing opponents who have had time and notice to set up on them.

Had they showed anyway, matters could easily have escalated into something comparable to the 2020 Uprising just one year later.
