Just as with the police, the abuse started when ICE started. They have been directly and indirectly killing people since they were the INS.
“US border patrol has REPORTED 10,000 deaths since 1994…but local rights groups at the border believe the number could be up to 80,000.”
All the abuse:
"woman survived five gunshots from Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged then cleared, wants judge’s permission to share records showing how feds respond when agents use deadly force.
DHS overdrive claiming she was threat to agents merely defending themselves.
See also: anyone who says more training and banning masks for ICE would be enough for them to vote for increased DHS funding.
It isn’t enough. Those types of reforms make the violence easier to witness (from a far away position of privilege), but they don’t actually make it stop.
A lot of replies and quotes about Black Lives Matter and #MeToo.
And YES. Anything you saw people in power do in response to those movements? Those are the red flags of symbolic compliance.
We need big structural changes that would fundamentally make our society less violent and more equal.
So keep pushing. Anything short of ICE’s abolition isn’t nearly enough.
And I’d say that even ICE’s abolition should only be the start of ending the violence that came to feel “normal” under Trump.
The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence.
It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Students, who have been among the tens of thousands resisting terror in Minnesota, have called for a nationwide shutdown on Friday, January 30.
No school.
No work.
No shopping.
The mother of Umer Khalid, a Palestine Action-linked prisoner who went on a thirst strike on Friday, said she was unable to contact him on Sunday as he entered his third day without water.
Khalid, who has also been on hunger strike for more than 16 days, is demanding a meeting with the government..
We urge you to not hold gatherings unmasked in unventilated public spaces. You are increasing the chances of your guests becoming ill or making someone else ill, putting pressure on health services with knock on consequences.
