I'm a farmer in San Diego County. In fallbrook/ temecula, there's a truck weigh station that's full of ICE operatives near me. Today, they blocked off the entrance to the only road that leads to a bunch of farms, including mine. I personally have a family farm, but I know my neighbors and their employees, and they're hard-working everyday people regardless of their immigration status.

To make a long story short, how do I legally fuck with ICE while they do a raid?

Edit: the only thing I can think of is recording and doing a verbal protest. I could try to share the footage with the local news. Given the current political climate, I'm not sure if they'd care. I don't want to see the people I've existed next to dissappear.

It's here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MbUzWLDT73swafxf7?g_st=ac

If you know someone who works at Moon Farm Nurseries, fucking tell them RIGHT NOW to lay low. They're compromised.

Edit 2: they took everyone. The fields up and down our road are empty. I couldn't even get a picture because I had to drive past like nothing was happening. Fuck.

Edit 3: a couple of truckers pulled up with double wides and blocked the road. I can't tell whoes side their on. Whish me luck.

Edit 4: I think mite have made a checkpoint for me. I think I'll be fine, but I'm not sure. Live update.

Edit 5: I'm fine, one of the people in the double wide got taken too. Fuck this day. I hope everyone is doing okay.

Broadcast ICE's location to others. While it may be too late, it'll sound the alarm and others will have time to prepare. Be specific: Identify cars, people, plates. The more aware people are of ICE's activities the better they can prepare.

be rich if you do this, when piolin did this back in the 90's on his radio show they came after him hard and; if he hadn't been rich enough to afford the finest lawyers; he would be in prison today.

That's pretty cool, but do you have a source for this? All I could find when looking up the name & 'radio' was this wiki page & the timelines don't match up. No mention of ice at all either

i'm glad you made me look this up; i just learned that i've reached the age where the 90's and the 00's have merged together in my memory, but i suppose it's a good thing that those decades were so much less traumatic than the 80's that they no longer stick out in my mind.

anyways, here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_United_States_immigration_reform_protests#Role_of_Spanish-language_media_and_religious_leaders

It's possible to do this anonymously.

Consider deleting your comment. It wrongfully suggests that there is nothing to be done.

Insta. Meta. reddit. Tik-Tok. Craigslist. Nextdoor (create a burner). I mean there's literally tens of ways.

I see.

Edit: curious about your reasoning for creating a burning for nextdoor, but not meta or facebok?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Burners for all the things, my bad.

So I was about to recommend the ACLU mobile justice app but I went to check if it was still working and it seems to be down. Reviews suggest it's been offline for a while. So if anyone reading this had also downloaded it and was assuming it would be there for you, maybe double check that.on your device.
