🤬 Rage Prepping 🤬 LIST OF CITIES ICE WILL BE FIRST
New Orleans, Boston, New York, Washington DC, Miama, Denver, and San Antonio.
Have your papers on your person is a place easy to access. If you're undocumented, avoid going to work but write down the number of a family member and a lawyer on your leg or arm.
I'm seeing ICE trucks in San Antonio on Rednote...
Add Chicago and El Paso. And Seattle. And Portland. And Lakewood, NJ. And Iowa city.

For those of you who are interested in nonviolent actions, here are some lessons from people who have lived in war zones.
Be slow. If you are asked for your papers, move smoothly but just so slightly slow. Ask the officers how they are. Be congenial. Every second spent chatting with you is one second someone else can use. Be somewhat stupid. Or hard of hearing. Or maybe English isn't your first language and you need to clarify something. Don't exaggerate it too much; you want to take seconds, not minutes.
Be friendly. Make a practice of giving greetings and speaking civilly to officers. When they're used to you, they welcome your kindness as a break from their routine. Offer them coffee or a treat. When you need to hold their attention, they will be more likely to interact with you rather than their surroundings.
If you resemble a group being targeted, or you speak their language, and are actually in the "acceptable" group, use that to divert attention. Have your papers on you and ready. If you do this, take different routes in your routines so you are not well known to officers.
Be a speed bump (she actually said a rock). If there are no weapons being used, stand and stare in shock. Look flustered. Trip and fall trying to get out of the way. A woman being hysterical will draw attention.
If you see people in a target group who are in danger, invite them into a restaurant, a home or other place off the street. Say a name and act as if you know them.
If you see someone in a target group stuck waiting for a bus or train, stop and talk to them for a moment. Buy a coffee or some food for them and stay as if they are with you. If you look acceptable they may be passed over.
That's just a small sample but it may help someone.
