Yeah but who got in trouble for hiring them? Did the farm owner run?
That’s how you know this is all political bull shit. If they actually wanted to solve the “problem” in a much easier, more efficient way, then they would just go after the people that hire them.
Farm owner likely voted for this.
“They’re just taking innocent people who are trying to build their own American Dream,” said Daniel Larios with the UFW Foundation. “This is not law enforcement. It’s a campaign of fear against people whose only ‘crime’ is living and working in the U.S.”
Ah yes, the dangerous criminals that are out farming for slave wages. Good job ICE. I’m assuming that ICE is going to punish the farmer that employed these dangerous criminals? ICE has entirely lost the fucking plot…
I can’t wait for those MAGAS to finally get those lost jobs, and go pick up fruits and veggies for * check notes * 2 dollar an hour!
Surely we’ll see republicans back to the farms, any moment from now
The plot is to make people angry enough where they do something worthy of getting black bagged. The US government wants people to act irrationally.
Yet Americans belong to their many denominations of a imperialist death cult of toxic positive optimism. We are cooked. No party will save us. Life is about to become impossible.
lost the fucking plot
Oh they never had it to begin with. They were always just nazis, but now the leash is off. Even worse, they’re being pushed to fill quotas, which incentivizes recklessness and cruelty.
Every day I get news about the gestapo capturing the enemies of the reich and throwing them in box cars, and I hear nothing about citizens doing anything to stop them.
There are protests and people mobbing ice agents and standing in front of the boxcars and stuff. In LA/Paramount there were enough that they shit their pants and called daddy for backup. It’s not really possible for these remote farming communities to have mobs of people overwhelming ice because there just aren’t that many people in the middle of nowhere farms.
If you haven’t heard about any resistance activity I strongly recommend you reconsider how and where you consume media.
100% this. There’s been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there’s been major protests all over the US about it. Like… we’re for sure doing it.
ICE is sneaking around the back roads in my city, and a local network sends out warning messages to local immigrants. I’m looking into what I can do as a citizen to make it more difficult for ICE, but I’m impressed by the messaging network that has been set up.
Be sure to let them know about privacy services. Don’t want them to be tracked doing the lords work.
I think they’ve got this on lock? But if you were to recommend something, what would you tell them? Most immigrants use WhatsApp anyway, which is secure, but i do have a friend who’s closely allied with this group.
WhatsApp doesn’t really have as much of the baggage that the rest of Meta does, but it is still their product, so I would move if possible. Signal is another good app to get people on. At least if there is a “core” team that is sourcing and redistributing info around should be made aware of privacy and anonymity, so that the network does not get decapitated so to speak.
The Hated One is a good youtube channel with resources around protesting. The guy is a bit of a paranoid, but his points still stand. He has some vids on how to make a burner phone. Some mesh network apps, and some info about removing metadata on digital files that might get shared around.
As we get serious about protesting we need to be serious about our digital and physical security. We don’t want to use pages that can be taken down, nor do we want to give information that will allow ICE to take down our resistance networks in detail.
If they use the same back roads you could set up traps.
Wonder if an app is needed… but that would probably get banned pretty quick
The local Hispanic community started the message chain for the local Hispanic community, and they definitely have the system worked out amazingly: I get messages (in Spanish) about the presence of ICE in specific locations, as well as messages quashing false rumors about ICE. I know people in this organization are even following ICE vehicles around and messaging covertly… I mean, it’s just super impressive. Every undocumented immigrant I have asked (I know a lot) is already connected to this message group. I don’t know that an app would improve it in any way?
Though, the group seems to be using some sort of program because when I signed up I got a few automated messages asking for some of my information, and I know that multiple people are messaging through this number with notifications.
Regardless, go team! They are doing so much good.
It’s a big country and unless the protesters have someway of knowing where the raids would happen before hand, you wont see them there. That’s why you see them(or don’t if the media is suppressing the story) at the detention centers or hotels they’re staying at.
Because American voted for this, and many racists on the left used every excuse in the book to not vote for a black woman
Oh but your average employment-seeker will totally line up to do that job for slave wages, so it’s all gud. /s
Cool, so we can look forward to empty shelves in grocery stores for domestic products and steep tariffs on foreign food products?
I’m at a point now where I can’t wait for this all to blow up. Literally and figuratively.
Going after our farm workers is not going to end well for anyone. I can only hope that someone in power will wake up and do something about it.
The people in power all see this as an absolute win. The things they’re trying to do about it is hire more ICE agents. It’s going to take a while before this blows up, and the only real way out of it is to hope that we have elections in a few years.
Real Americans don’t eat vegetables!
That’s why they got so much ass cancer hahahaha
food is going to get so fucking expensive…
like eggs, we’re heading toward a produce shortage. Our supply of eggs is fine now, but prices are still high. They’re gonna do the same thing with produce.
This is such a limp dick country… I fucking hate the USA… Genocidal fascist imperialist shit stain of a country.
That UFW symbol design is going to draw some negative sentiment for the black insignia in a white circle on red flag. Looks like a copy/paste swastika reworked.
White folks who don’t understand how words work and vote are going to think ICE are busting field Nazis.
Maybe they could use something centered around farming? Or even better, something highlighting the unity between industrial and agricultural workers?
Yeah, that flag design… Big yikes.
Edit: apparently this is the actual logo; it’s hard to find the one that ABC used… Makes me think it was an intentional choice.
Ventura county? Wonder what counties (I mean economy) they’ve targeted in Florida…
Well I guess it’s a good thing gEnOcIdE Joe or Kamala didn’t get elected… that’s OP’s desire…
I mean right now we could have had a democrat admin, but it was clearly more important for OP to instead have an admin that completely abandons the possibility of a 2 state solution, deploys marines to US soil, and targets the safe haven of progressive voters….
All for a political moment that didn’t exist 6 months prior and frankly doesn’t seem to come up 6 months after… the GeNoCiDe crew is really quiet right now as trump does trump and stomps all over what they claim to hold dear…
Good call morons…
