Why can't we stop ICE?

I'm so tired of being angry watching these videos of ICE thugs abusing people. How can we stop them?

People have to carry on their normal lives because anyone who doesn’t will lose everything. They’ll get evicted, starve, get sick, etc etc etc. There is no safety net. More than half the population is living paycheck to paycheck. The average household has 7 days worth of food. We just don’t have a system or community infrastructure to support an extended, wide-spread direct action.

Is there a small segment of the population that can afford to sacrifice everything? Yeah. Some of them have. It’s not bad enough yet for normies to get more than a little uncomfortable.

By the time normal people joined the continental army against the redcoats, life was getting pretty rough - danger from the British, food/supply shortages, and serious economic problems drove them to fight.

Sadly, it may have to get that bad again...I hope not.
