@june I think is a totally reasonable fear... especially seeing what ICE has done at immigration courts and in the streets. TSA has never been great, especially when it comes to profiling people of color or harassing trans people, but this definitely introduces the potential for way more escalation.

For now, I think the best we can do is face fear with preparedness. Be prepared for a variety of different situations if you're flying, and always make sure your community can figure where you are and what to do if something happens. If we fight this together, I still believe we can win  Stay safe y'all

Everyone should read through this thread from @nullagent. I've been following the atrocities that ICE has been committing in Minneapolis the last couple days, and this is the first thread where I've seen so much of the video/court/written evidence in one place. They also show court documents where this shit is happening in other cities like Chicago. I think this is especially important to keep informed about if you don't live in one of the cities being explicitly terrorized because a) ICE is everywhere and IS harassing and illegally detaining your neighbors, even if it's largely at the courthouse and b) this is going to spread everywhere.

We must protect our neighbors, we must document everything, we cannot let them win. Get plugged in to your local community - a good place to start if you aren't involved in things already is looking for a local immigration rapid response group, any immigrant advocacy groups, a mutual aid group (e.g. Food Not Bombs), or your local DSA chapter.

This is exactly what the brown shirts did in Nazi Germany. It is fascism.
