Yeah but who got in trouble for hiring them? Did the farm owner run?
That’s how you know this is all political bull shit. If they actually wanted to solve the “problem” in a much easier, more efficient way, then they would just go after the people that hire them.
Farm owner likely voted for this.
We’ve already seen the ghost of Christmas future here, it’s when Georgia implemented their live scan law and all the small and mid size farmers in Georgia lost their whole harvest (and subsequently, the farm) because they just couldn’t get Americans to come and pick for what they’re willing to pay. A lot of these farmers voted and stumped for Trump, believing that certainly the face eating leopard who eats everyone’s face and promises to eat everyone’s face wouldn’t eat their face. Get ready for a lot of “waaahhh, I didn’t think he would hurt meeeeeeee” from these guys as millions of pounds of tomatoes rot on the vine this summer.
Also, this just fucking sucks. I live in the central valley, ag is a really big deal here, and a lot of ag workers are really hard-working stand up folks. Nobody deserves ICE, but these folks especially don’t deserve it. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish ICE agents a very merry court date ASAP.
I wish these assholes rapid lead poisoning.
Second to that, a careful and thorough rout of them all, prosecuted heavily and drained of any assets by their victims for violating due process.
Every day I get news about the gestapo capturing the enemies of the reich and throwing them in box cars, and I hear nothing about citizens doing anything to stop them.
ICE is sneaking around the back roads in my city, and a local network sends out warning messages to local immigrants. I’m looking into what I can do as a citizen to make it more difficult for ICE, but I’m impressed by the messaging network that has been set up.
If they use the same back roads you could set up traps.
Use a drone to drop paint on their windshield when parked.
Or drop liquid ass on the groups of cops/ICE, and/or their cars.
Or if you know an ICE person, anonymously dox them.
What is liquid ass? I feel like this is a typo but I love it.
Wonder if an app is needed… but that would probably get banned pretty quick
The local Hispanic community started the message chain for the local Hispanic community, and they definitely have the system worked out amazingly: I get messages (in Spanish) about the presence of ICE in specific locations, as well as messages quashing false rumors about ICE. I know people in this organization are even following ICE vehicles around and messaging covertly… I mean, it’s just super impressive. Every undocumented immigrant I have asked (I know a lot) is already connected to this message group. I don’t know that an app would improve it in any way?
Though, the group seems to be using some sort of program because when I signed up I got a few automated messages asking for some of my information, and I know that multiple people are messaging through this number with notifications.
Regardless, go team! They are doing so much good.
Be sure to let them know about privacy services. Don’t want them to be tracked doing the lords work.
I think they’ve got this on lock? But if you were to recommend something, what would you tell them? Most immigrants use WhatsApp anyway, which is secure, but i do have a friend who’s closely allied with this group.
WhatsApp doesn’t really have as much of the baggage that the rest of Meta does, but it is still their product, so I would move if possible. Signal is another good app to get people on. At least if there is a “core” team that is sourcing and redistributing info around should be made aware of privacy and anonymity, so that the network does not get decapitated so to speak.
The Hated One is a good youtube channel with resources around protesting. The guy is a bit of a paranoid, but his points still stand. He has some vids on how to make a burner phone. Some mesh network apps, and some info about removing metadata on digital files that might get shared around.
As we get serious about protesting we need to be serious about our digital and physical security. We don’t want to use pages that can be taken down, nor do we want to give information that will allow ICE to take down our resistance networks in detail.
It’s a big country and unless the protesters have someway of knowing where the raids would happen before hand, you wont see them there. That’s why you see them(or don’t if the media is suppressing the story) at the detention centers or hotels they’re staying at.
Because American voted for this, and many racists on the left used every excuse in the book to not vote for a black woman
Ah yes, the dangerous criminals that are out farming for slave wages. Good job ICE. I’m assuming that ICE is going to punish the farmer that employed these dangerous criminals? ICE has entirely lost the fucking plot…
I can’t wait for those MAGAS to finally get those lost jobs, and go pick up fruits and veggies for * check notes * 2 dollar an hour!
Surely we’ll see republicans back to the farms, any moment from now
lost the fucking plot
Oh they never had it to begin with. They were always just nazis, but now the leash is off. Even worse, they’re being pushed to fill quotas, which incentivizes recklessness and cruelty.
Yet Americans belong to their many denominations of a imperialist death cult of toxic positive optimism. We are cooked. No party will save us. Life is about to become impossible.
Cool, so we can look forward to empty shelves in grocery stores for domestic products and steep tariffs on foreign food products?
I’m at a point now where I can’t wait for this all to blow up. Literally and figuratively.
Going after our farm workers is not going to end well for anyone. I can only hope that someone in power will wake up and do something about it.
The people in power all see this as an absolute win. The things they’re trying to do about it is hire more ICE agents. It’s going to take a while before this blows up, and the only real way out of it is to hope that we have elections in a few years.
Real Americans don’t eat vegetables!
That’s why they got so much ass cancer hahahaha
Oh but your average employment-seeker will totally line up to do that job for slave wages, so it’s all gud. /s
That UFW symbol design is going to draw some negative sentiment for the black insignia in a white circle on red flag. Looks like a copy/paste swastika reworked.
White folks who don’t understand how words work and vote are going to think ICE are busting field Nazis.
Maybe they could use something centered around farming? Or even better, something highlighting the unity between industrial and agricultural workers?
This is such a limp dick country… I fucking hate the USA… Genocidal fascist imperialist shit stain of a country.
