I've written this blogpost on ICE protest chants & songs, w/ a large section of transcriptions of singing at protests by faith leaders and the Singing Resistance. It also includes songs about ICE agents' perceived masculinity issues and new songs protesting ICE. https://medium.com/@norikomanabe/ice-protest-songs-and-chants-minnesota-general-strike-january-23-and-beyond-b76358a569ca?source=friends_link&sk=4a1ac025ae4aee44c267164bb5f022f3
