đ 35+ Ways America is Resisting ICE (that go beyond protest)
Part 1
Welcome to How to Resist, a blueprint for resistance based on nonviolence, mutual aid, and community building for ordinary people who want to save democracy.
Dear Resisters,
Immigrants make up nearly 15.4% of the US population and 19% of the labor force.1 They are our neighbors, co-workers, and family members. By the end of October this year, 527,000 immigrants had been forcibly removed from the United States and deported, including to third countries other than their country of origin.2
In recent months, weâve witnessed an alarming escalation in immigration enforcement tactics as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) go city to city, terrorizing immigrant communities. Theyâve smashed car windows, swung batons, and even used explosives to blow doors off homes with children inside. Theyâve emerged from unmarked vehicles with weapons drawn, shot into family cars, and grabbed people off sidewalks and put them into unmarked vans. These actions arenât confined to back alleys at night; they are happening in broad daylight at schools, courthouses, workplaces, and even religious institutions.
Across the country, ICE and CBP arrests have included elected officials and U.S. citizens, as they desperately try to meet the arbitrary quotas set by the Trump administration. Over 56,000 individuals were in detention by the end of September, 71.5% of whom had no criminal record.3 This is not law enforcement as we know it; itâs a slide toward secret police tactics, designed to stifle dissent and keep communities living in fear.
As ICE and CBP go from city to city, rounding up noncitizens and citizens alike, the resistance has found creative ways to challenge ICE that go beyond protesting and carrying signs. Below is a compendium of resistance actions spanning the entire ecosystem of resistance, from individuals to grassroots organizations to media to court rulings to local statutes and state legislation. This is not a list of what we could do; itâs a list of what we are doing. Itâs a list that reflects the ways we are teaching ourselves to resist in a uniquely American way, within a uniquely American context.
There is much to learn from, adapt, and expand on here, and with no signs of immigration operations slowing, itâs not a bad time to study what has been done so far and think about how it can be applied to local contexts. I hope you find it useful and share it with your networks so that we might better learn from each other. Have something to add? Share it in the comments so it can be included in Part 2!

Court Watch
ICE has arrested over 100,000 immigrants as of August 2025, many with no criminal record, including individuals taken directly from courtrooms, with Manhattan courts being a top location for these abductions. Court Watch is a loosely organized group of volunteers who attend immigration hearings to provide a supportive presence and collect emergency contact information for people facing deportation, with the goal of documenting ICE actions and preventing the complete disappearance of individuals taken into custody.4 5
ICE Not Welcome
Increased ICE activity in Chicago, including arrests at restaurants and grocery stores, has created fear among immigrant workers and communities. Chicago businesses are responding by posting signs stating âEveryone is welcome here, except I.C.E.â and âICE/CBP agents do not have consent to enter this business/restaurant unless they have a valid judicial warrantâ to signal solidarity and deter immigration agents without a judicial warrant. Some signs originated from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) and include Know Your Rights information.6
You can read more about what ICE agents can and canât do in businesses here.
Refusal of Service/Entry/Use of Facilities
In Chicago, a local business owner refused to serve ICE agents and asked them to leave. ICE agents had previously visited the business and detained an employee who had yet to be released at the time of the incident.7
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was denied entry to a public municipal building in Broadview, Illinois, when she requested to use the restroom during a visit to an ICE facility. A video shows staff inside the building refusing to grant access. Noem later criticized Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker on social media for denying her and her agents access to a municipal building.8
The Walking Schoolbus
Federal immigration raids have increased in areas like Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, and now Charlotte. As a result, more parents are afraid to walk their children to school. In response, local mothers, educators, and neighbors have organized a âwalking school busâ to help families affected by ICE operations. Volunteers escort children to school daily, supporting parents who fear leaving home due to immigration enforcement. In Chicago, approximately 80 to 100 children are picked up and walked to school each day.9 10 These tactics have now been adopted in Charlotte, NC, where immigration raids are currently on the rise.11
Targeted Boycotts
Following the passage of the budget reconciliation bills, an estimated $1.5 billion in ICE/DHS contract value will flow through American companies annually. Immigrant rights activists have called for targeted boycotts of companies accused of profiting from or enabling Trumpâs immigration enforcement through ICE contracts, deportation flights, detention operations, or recruitment ads. Companies include many household names such as UHaul, AT&T, Target, Home Depot, Motorola, FedEx, Comcast, UPS, McDonaldâs, and Spotify. Organizers are urging consumers to avoid purchases from listed corporations, support street vendors and immigrant-owned businesses affected by raids, and mobilize in the streets and use economic power to resist enforcement.12
More extensive lists of companies that contract with ICE can be found here, here, and here.
Whistles
After the Trump administration launched a deportation crackdown in Chicago in early September, residents began using plastic whistles to signal the presence of ICE or CBP agents. Whistles serve two purposes: to warn undocumented individuals to flee and to alert U.S. citizens to gather, record arrests, provide legal information, and discourage agents from lingering.
The Little Village Community Council began distributing whistles over the summer at local festivals, parades, Little Free Libraries, and through social media, and some folks are creating 3D-printed whistles to increase supply. 1314 15
âICE Abducted Someone Hereâ / âICE Tear-Gassed This Neighborhoodâ
During Trumpâs 30-day crime emergency in D.C., over 2,600 immigration arrests occurred between Aug. 7 and Sept. 14, including more than 1,000 undocumented individuals. D.C residents responded with the creation of âICE abducted someone hereâ signs nailed to trees, wrapped around poles, or written in chalk; some are printed professionally, others handmade. The practice takes inspiration from the Stolpersteine, or Stumbling Blocks, found across Europe, where victims of the Holocaust were taken from their homes. Signs have since been reported in Seattle, Portland, Massachusetts, and Chicago.16
No Sleep for ICE
âNo Sleep for ICEâ is a rallying cry used on social media that identifies hotels where ICE agents stay and organizes disruptions. Methods include the use of car horns, trumpets, tambourines, and loud chants; marching laps around hotels while making noise; and posting one-star Google reviews for targeted hotels, often mentioning ârats.â Hotel employees confirmed that some ICE agents reportedly left hotels after pressure from protesters, and some cars remained due to slashed tires. 171819 20
Activists have called for a targeted boycott of hotel chains such as Marriott, Residence Inn, Best Western, Townplace Suites, Woodspring Suites, DoubleTree, and Hyatt that host ICE agents.21
See a complete list of boycotted hotels here.
Following ICE Vehicles
In Chicago, there have been reports of cars following ICE vehicles, honking their horns and shouting âLe migra! Le migra!â to warn residents of ICE presence in the neighborhood.22
Tow Trucks
Social media posts seem to indicate that tow trucks are towing illegally parked ICE vehicles23 and offering a no-cost tow to any location for people detained by ICE. 24
Art as Resistance
During the immigration raids in Los Angeles, artist Christine LĂŞSantos became well known for her âAbolish ICEâ illustration featuring a melting ice cube and immigrant rights in English and Spanish. LĂŞSantos initially sold the prints as charity risographs, donating proceeds to Immigrant Legal Resource Center, National Day Laborer Organizing Network, and GoFundMe campaigns, then distributed them for free. Prints have now appeared in restaurants, shops, and community spaces across L.A. County and beyond, including Oakland and Lansing, Michigan.
You can access a free downloadable PDF of her design here.
Bus Drivers Protect Their Passengers
In Los Angeles, fear of ICE raids has reduced bus ridership by up to 15%. Riders and organizers report immigrants avoiding transit due to fear, leading some LA Metro bus operators to pledge to protect riders by refusing to let suspected ICE agents board buses to protect immigrant riders, rerouting buses to avoid ICE, and distributing Know Your Rights pamphlets. About 30 operators have informally agreed to deny entry to armed, unidentified agents, citing safety rules allowing them to deny service if someone poses a threat.25 Two bus drivers were fired for violating Metroâs communication policy and speaking to the press without authorization about the pledge.26
Guerilla Projection
Vjaybombs, an anonymous street art collective in Los Angeles, uses âguerrilla projectionsâ to display satirical anti-Trump and anti-ICE imagery on public buildings. Actions included projecting an image of Jesus being arrested by an ICE agent across from the ACLUâs downtown LA office.27
In Los Angeles, the âAm I Next?â campaign projects portraits of activists and community membersâincluding George Takei and Edward James Olmosâonto landmarks to protest Trumpâs immigration sweeps. Organized by the California Community Foundation, the campaign highlights stories of those detained and draws parallels to historic injustices like Japanese American incarceration.28
Operation Inflation
In Portland, Oregon, a new grassroots effort called Operation Inflation has been providing protesters with a delightful array of inflatable costumes from frogs to unicorns to PokĂŠmon. The deliberate absurdity of the costumes challenges the narrative that Portland is a âwar zoneâ in need of intervention and that the presence of the National Guard is required to save local residents from the violent âradical left.â Want to join the fun? For $35, you can donate a costume here.
âIcy conditionsâ
Communities are using Waze to report ICE raids by posting coded messages like âicy roadsâ or âicy conditionsâ in areas where enforcement is happening. Messages often include details such as the number of officers and locations, disguised as traffic updates. Alerts are amplified through Facebook, WhatsApp, and Reddit threads.29
Waze has become a substitute for apps like ICEBlock, an app that allowed users to report immigration enforcement activity, which has been removed from Apple and Google following demands from the Trump administration.30
âResist ICEâ
Across the country, âresistâ stickers have been added to convenience store ice refrigerators.31
Reporting ICE Sightings on Social Media
In early March, ICE-related conversations on social media surged to nearly 300,000 mentions, five times higher than in February, as users began using platforms like TikTok, X, Reddit, Instagram, and WhatsApp to share real-time ICE sightings and warn communities. Posts include coded language such as âice cream truckâ or the ice cube emoji to avoid detection.32
Examples: Instagram: Chicago 33 Instagram: Chicago (English/Spanish)34 Tik Tok35
Reporting ICE activity with StopICE.net
StopICE.net is a website that allows users to report ICE sightings and receive alerts. The site has over 470,000 subscribers nationwide and is part of a growing network of similar platforms. Users submit reports and photos of suspected ICE activity, including unmarked cars, license plates, and officers in parking lots.36
Live-Streaming ICE Activities
Activists in Orange County are tracking ICE sightings via social media and community tips. Victor Valladares live-streams ICE activity in Spanish to 30,000+ followers, while volunteers called âpatrollersâ respond to suspected ICE locations and share real-time updates and verify on-the-ground reports.37
Rapid Response Networks
Across the country, grassroots groups are organizing rapid response networks to resist deportations and protect immigrant communities. Efforts include Know Your Rights trainings, hotline support, legal aid, and community bail funds, alongside direct actions and advocacy for sanctuary policies like New Yorkâs âFor All Act.â Organizers emphasize solidarity and creativity, from church-based protection committees to emergency planning workshops and enforcement trainings. These initiatives aim to empower communities, provide practical defense strategies, and sustain hope through collective action against escalating immigration enforcement.38
Non-cooperation from Local Law Enforcement
There have been verified reports of local law enforcement refusing to cooperate with ICE agents or enable ICE activities. Portland law enforcement warned ICE agents they would be arrested if they drove through a crowd of protesters.39 And in Chicago, an ICE agent called for assistance after being run off the road by a suspect. The dispatcher instructed all units to âclear outâ and not respond, saying, âWeâre not going over there.â Police eventually responded 1 hour and 10 minutes later.40
Peopleâs Patrol
Volunteer ICE Patrols in Chicagoâs Pilsen Neighborhood monitor for ICE activity and warn residents, especially near schools. Patrols occur during school drop-off and pick-up times around 11 elementary schools; volunteers also watch alleyways, parking lots, and main streets. Their goal is to alert families before arrests happen, protect vulnerable spaces like schools, churches, and businesses, and document all interactions. Volunteers send photos and videos to local rapid response networks such as Pilsen Rapid Response, which mobilize community members quickly.41
Satire as Resistance
âAre YOU ready to serve YOUR countryâand and TURN IN your brother-in-law whom YOU didnât realize THIS would AFFECT?â Thus begins the satirical piece by Eli Grober of the New Yorker.42
South Park Season 27, Episode 2 satirizes ICE officers and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, alongside other Trump administration figures. The episode mocks ICE recruitment practices, portrays ICE offering high salaries and bonuses with no background checks or qualifications required, includes a fictional recruitment video stating: âWe donât ask for experience⌠you need a job, itâs a job to have.â ICE officers in the episode wear masks âin shame,â referencing real-life concerns over masked ICE agents during enforcement operations.43
In October, Saturday Night Live aired a sketch spoofing Senate Judiciary Committee testimony, featuring Amy Poehler as Attorney General Pam Bondi and Tina Fey as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The sketch mocked government operations and the justifications for deploying U.S. troops to protect ICE facilities. Feyâs portrayal of Noem included entering the hearing with a large automatic weapon and joking, âHold my gun,â and delivering a satirical ICE recruitment pitch: âDo you like to use zip ties because people in your life donât trust you with keys?â44

Buying Out Street Vendors
ICE raids in Chicago have led to decreased sales and fear among migrant street vendors, with at least three vendors being detained. Cycling x Solidarity, a Chicago-based collective, organizes bike rides to buy out entire inventories from street vendors so they can go home safely. Over one weekend, more than 30 cyclists bought out six vendors on Saturday and three on Sunday. Purchases included 250 burritos, gift bags, and drinks, which were redistributed to people in need.45
Billboards
Billboards were posted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, that read: âWithout due process, itâs just kidnapping. ICE out of Lancaster.â Sponsored by Lancaster Stands Up to raise awareness about immigration enforcement and its impact.
The Grand Avenue Billboard Project, installed a billboard in Phoenix titled âWe Stand for Law & Order.â The artwork depicts ICE agents and Ku Klux Klan members standing side-by-side, both masked, with the years â1922â and â2025â in bold text.46
Faith Leaders and Communities
In November, faith leaders and activists gathered outside the Broadview ICE processing center for an All Saints Day Mass and protest. A delegation led by Sister JoAnn Persch requested entry to provide pastoral care and Communion to detainees. ICE denied their entry for the second time. They held mass outside the facility as an act of protest and faith. The event included liturgical dancers, blessings, and prayers for those affected by Trumpâs Operation Midway Blitz raids.47
Twenty-one faith leaders and supporters were arrested outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, during a peaceful protest against Trumpâs intensified immigration raids. The demonstration follows months of clashes between activists and federal agents, prompting a judge to curb aggressive enforcement tactics and order the release of detainees after ICE violated legal limits on warrantless arrests.48
Legal & Legislative Resistance
Mask Bans
California will ban local and federal law enforcement officers, including ICE, from wearing face masks while on duty starting January 1, 2026. Bill was introduced after masked ICE officers conducted raids in Los Angeles and aims to stop âsecret policeâ tactics and protect residentsâ freedoms. The bill also requires officers to identify themselves by name and badge number during enforcement actions. Exceptions will be made for undercover work, health protection (disease, wildfires), and tactical gear.49
Body Cams
In October, U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis ordered immigration enforcement agents in the Chicago area to begin using body-worn cameras. The order followed reports of ICE agents clashing with protesters on Chicagoâs Southeast Side, deploying tear gas and other chemical weapons. Agents must now wear identification, give two warnings before deploying chemical weapons, and wear body cameras required during enforcement actions.50
Right to Protest
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed the âRight to Protestâ Executive Order following the federal use of force against demonstrators outside an ICE facility in the Chicago area. The EO affirms Chicagoâs commitment to protecting free speech and peaceful assembly under the First Amendment and ensures the Chicago Police Department (CPD) will safeguard protests even if federal law enforcement interferes.51
Denial of Use of City Property
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order banning ICE from using city-owned property (parking lots, vacant lots, other locations) for staging, processing, or operations, requiring departments to enforce the policy and report violations. City departments were required to implement measures within five days of the announcement, and city employees are required to report violations immediately. Local businesses and community organizations have been encouraged to adopt similar policies.52 53
Banning ICE from Schools and Hospitals
Governor Gavin Newsom signed a package of bills creating the nationâs strongest protections against federal immigration enforcement tactics in schools and hospitals. Immigration enforcement officers cannot access classrooms without a judicial warrant or court order, and families must be notified if enforcement occurs on campus. Emergency rooms and nonpublic hospital areas are off-limits to immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant, and immigration-related information collected by healthcare providers is protected as medical data. Agents must also be identifiable by name or badge number and masks are prohibited except in clearly defined, necessary circumstances.54
âProtect Our Courts Actâ Upheld
A federal judge dismissed the Trump administrationâs lawsuit challenging New Yorkâs Protect Our Courts Act and related executive orders. The law, passed in 2020, prohibits civil immigration arrests in state and local courthouses unless agents have a court order or criminal warrant signed by a judge. Judge Mae A. DâAgostino ruled the law is constitutional, citing New Yorkâs right under the Tenth Amendment to decline participation in enforcing civil immigration law.55
Court-Ordered Daily Reports
Judge Sara Ellis has ordered Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino to report daily on his teamâs actions following repeated violations of court-imposed limits on tear gas use during Trumpâs immigration crackdown in Chicago. Despite a restraining order requiring warnings before deploying chemical agents, agents continued using tear gas in residential neighborhoods, including near childrenâs events. The judge criticized Bovinoâs personal conduct and emphasized the psychological harm caused to communities. Her ruling mandates body cameras and detailed use-of-force reports, marking a significant judicial intervention to curb abusive enforcement tactics.56
San Diego Limits Local Cooperation with ICE
In response to a surge in ICE raids and arrests, the San Diego City Council unanimously approved the Due Process and Safety Ordinance, which restricts local law enforcement from collaborating with certain federal immigration task forces. The ordinance sets legal boundaries to protect residents regardless of immigration status and requires judicial warrants for ICE access to city property. It also mandates data privacy protections and multilingual rights education.57
New York ICE Portal
New York Attorney General Letitia James has launched a public portal for residents to submit photos and videos of ICE agents operating in the state, following a controversial raid on Canal Street. The initiative aims to investigate potential legal violations and increase accountability amid rising federal immigration enforcement in Democratic-led cities. Similar efforts are underway in Illinois and Congress, where officials are encouraging documentation of ICE actions.58
Illinois Accountability Commission
Governor JB Pritzker has signed an executive order creating the Illinois Accountability Commission to document alleged civil rights violations by federal immigration agents under Trumpâs Operation Midway Blitz. The commission will collect public testimony, videos, and other evidence of abusesâincluding racial profiling and excessive forceâby ICE and CBP officers. Led by former federal judge Ruben Castillo, the initiative aims to preserve records for future legal and congressional action.59
ICE Agents Can Be Arrested
In a rare judicial check on ICE, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey I. Cummings ruled that ICE repeatedly violated a 2022 settlement requiring strict procedures for warrantless arrests in Illinois and five other states. Agents used blank administrative warrant forms (Form I-200) and filled them out after detaining individuals, a tactic the judge said was designed to circumvent probable cause requirements.
The court ordered extended oversight of ICE operations in Chicago until February 2, 2026. ICE must now reissue a national policy on warrantless arrests, retrain all relevant personnel, and file monthly public reports listing every arrest without a pre-issued warrant since June 11. Violations could lead to contempt proceedings or criminal referrals, exposing individual agents to sanctions or arrest.60

I visited a local Compare Food store in Charlotte. They have free food delivery to targeted immigrants. Talking to the cashier, I saw fear in her face, even thought she is a legal citizen.
