In order to keep Donald Trump’s voter base entertained with spectacles of predatory violence, recruiters are offering bribes of up to $50,000 to seduce gullible individuals into hiring themselves out to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). While Trump’s henchmen falsely claim that ICE is targeting “criminals,” the real wrongdoers are those who are prepared to do harm to their neighbors in return for a bribe.

In cooperation with subMedia and the Coordinadora Anarquista Tejiendo Libertad, we have prepared a video and poster campaign to counter ICE recruitment. Please circulate these everywhere that people are at risk.

@CrimethInc @subMedia @catl Awesome to see this collaboration campaign. It's super important. I wonder about some of the messaging though. There's a binary there between us (targets of the campaign) and them (targets of ICE). Is that not a false distinction?

Also, I don't know if the line of "if we don't act we deserve what happens to us" is either effective or true. No one deserves harm against them, even if they aren't active. And extrinsic motivation in the form of threats isn't particularly useful nor anarchistic, in my opinion.

Thanks for listening and for all that you do.
