  • law enforcement officers who don’t work at ICE or Border Patrol have a death rate 6.3 times higher than that of immigration enforcement officers.” In fact, the report found, immigration agents are at no greater risk than regular people: “The chance of an ICE or Border Patrol agent being murdered in the line of duty is about one in 94,549 per year, about 5.5 times less likely than a civilian being murdered.

    Seems like immigrants are less dangerous then citizens

    The crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States,” Graff writes.” Statistically speaking, “worst of the worst” seems to describe CBP and the Border Patrol as law-enforcement agencies better than it does the people they’re rounding up

    And less dangerous than CBP it seems

    It’s obvious that ICE/CBP aren’t about crime, they exist to enforce white nationalism






  • I agree that forming unions is super important. A slowdown might even indicate which of our coworkers would be willing to unionize. This is important because ppl working for union busting companies don’t know who at work they can trust.

    It would be great if there could be coordination with the big unions going on strike while the rest of us do a slowdown. My industry (IT) is not unionized, but if we slowed down it would have a huge economic impact that would actually impact the oligarchs. It would also impede their ability to track immigrants. We could also start a slowdown next week and then the unions could join us.

    I think that the demands we should have are to free every person in ICE/CBP detention and to completely disband ICE and CBP. Freeing the people in detention is one of the reasons I think we should do a slowdown ASAP. Waiting for the unions to schedule a strike means that more people are suffering, being abused/raped & being killed by ICE/CBP



  • A full strike is definitely more effective, but that doesn’t mean that a slowdown strike does not have its place. It has been used historically by the same great grandparents that went on strike as well as more recently. It can be used on its own or as a precursor to a full strike

    I don’t think that we should discount the idea just because a full strike would be better. A slowdown strike could be organized next week, could expand as ppl learn about it, could be organized without waiting for people to form unions or set up mutual aid. The website you shared talks about earning trust in nonprofits for months to set up mutual aid networks. Setting up a union also takes time. People want to act now. A slowdown strike can also build worker unity
