ICE/local police arrest attempt DEFEATED in Immokalee
UPDATE 5:30PM: no further signs of ICE in the community. Continue to exercise caution
On the 2nd of March, Trump's ICE gestapo showed up in the major agricultural center of Immokalee, FL and joined forces with local police to attack migrants.
Warnings went out to people to lock themselves inside and refuse to let ICE enter. At one point, someone detained by ICE or local cops was spotted in an unmarked car identified as being a local police car. A crowd surrounded the car, chanting "No Justice, No Peace, No ICE on our streets." The cops recognized that they could easily get their asses kicked if this escalated, and threw in the towel. They released their hostage so as to be released themselves.
Fortress Immokalee one, ICE hopefully ZERO. Let's hope they learned their lesson.
Note that a successful ICE assault on Immokalee would cut off a large part of the national supply of tomatoes. That will affect what even Trump is able to eat. Bigoted white Americans had better consider the fact that the gestapo they are sending against migrants could earn them certain shelves staying empty at their local Wal-Mart.

We look at the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in southwest Florida, which runs a radio station called Radio Conciencia that helped immigrant farmworkers prepare for Hurricane Milton and other storms. Established in 2003, the community radio station broadcasts in Spanish, Creole and other languages to share crucial information during natural disasters. “This is always scary for us whenever a hurricane hits in our area,” says organizer Gerardo Reyes Chavez. “Living conditions especially are horrible in most agricultural communities.”
