Wish we could do something about it

    Stop trying to divide us when we are trying to unite. The white people that are getting killed are the ones trying to help and warn their neighbors. Keep making them feel guilty and they may just give up.

      This. People were already protesting ICE long before Renée Good got killed. The racists, white supremacists, and nazis are still not protesting today. They don’t care if a murdered protestor is white. A Nazi is going to view any white protesters as race traitors. What’s happening right now is a dramatic shift in the scope of what ICE is doing. Rather than simply targeting immigrants, it’s being deployed against protestors and in crowd control efforts. The extent of people they’re targeting and how they’re targeting them is dramatically expanding as well.

      In 2025, at least 32 people died in custody after being detained by ICE. This has caused massive protests nationwide.

      But in 2025, there were only 2 people known to have been shot and killed by ICE:

      Silverio Villegas González - September 12 - undocumented immigrant shot and killed by ICE in his car after dropping his kids off at school in Chicago. Video circulated online of his window getting broken out and him getting dragged out of the car after being shot.

      Keith Porter - December 31 - African American father shot and killed in Los Angeles while allegedly setting off fireworks. There are no videos of what happened.

      The first people shot and killed by ICE in 2026 include:

      Renée Good - January 7 - woman shot and killed in her vehicle in Minneapolis. Videos of the incident circulated online. She was not actively protesting.

      Alex Pretti - January 24 - protestor murdered execution style in Minneapolis for attempting to help a woman get safely to a sidewalk.

      That’s it. This image includes completely incorrect information. Jaime Alanís Garcia died from breaking his neck after allegedly falling 30 feet from a building while a cannabis farm was being raided by ICE in Ventura County, California. ICE and CBP claims they were not targeting him. There’s no video of the incident.

      Stuff is dramatically escalating, and it’s presumably about to get much much worse.

    Nothing makes this more obvious than the pro-gun Republicans suddenly pushing back on ICE for murdering Pretti. If he was a Somali migrant with a gun they would be absolutely silent, it’s only because he was a white man that they’re upset.

    Instead of getting mad at OP for pointing out the facts, recognize that we can use this. White people have a really important duty to put their bodies on the line to fight ICE, because when they get injured or killed it upsets white society.

      “Fascists are being fascist, so don’t get upset with OP for lumping an entire race in with the fascists. Oh, by the way, if you’re white you should go get yourself murdered so that the fascists might gain a moment of self-awareness”

      That’s how you sound.

        The white moderate have always been happy to ignore Black and Brown people being brutalized by the government, that’s why MLK warned about them in his letter from Birmingham Jail. It takes bloodied white faces for them to realize fascism is coming for all of us.

        Obviously the opinions of fascists don’t matter. They love to watch “race traitors” die. But it’s not like every pro-gun Republican is a race war Helter Skelter gunfucker that wants to mow down all their neighbors. They’re mostly just ordinary people that believe guns are for protection and this is the exact moment they were told guns were supposed to protect us from.

        That means that the historical role white people play in the struggle against white supremacist society is as the bodies on the front line. This is when that white privilege can be used to actually help everyone, instead of just helping white people like it always has.
