What I Found About the Anti-ICE Activists Is Disturbing
From Matt Walsh
The content discusses the organized efforts of anti-ICE activists in Minnesota, highlighting the federal government's authority over immigration enforcement and suggesting that the campaigns against ICE may be funded and coordinated rather than purely grassroots. It questions the leadership behind the anti-ICE movement and identifies a prominent group, Defend the 612, as a key player in the resistance, indicating a significant level of mobilization and planning among its supporters.
Key Takeaways
- In Minnesota, the grassroots anti-ICE movement is less grassroots and more 'Well-Funded Chaos Inc.'
- Local leaders encourage 'patrols' that sound suspiciously like vigilante justice, but without capes or the law.
- Defend the 612: where community action meets questionable legal advice, like a DIY handbook for obstructing federal law.
- Calling ICE 'abductors' might win hearts, but it doesn't rack up legal points in a courtroom.
- For a movement claiming community support, their manual suggests the fine art of mislabeling to deceive 911 operators.
