Over the last few weeks, we've watched Trump weaponize ICE against the people of Minnesota and communities across the country as a tool of political retribution.

The struggle against ICE is a struggle for civil rights, justice, and decency in America. Authoritarianism is at the door; it’s time to throw out the old playbook and start fighting ICE with fire.
