“Masked men from ICE showed up one April morning, and it all stopped. The kids couldn’t leave their homes. Our weekly classes stopped,” said Vu, a Sid Richardson College freshman. “Week after week, I would hear word of another family who left without a word. We made [the map] a few weeks later.” The website, icemap.dev, tracks ICE-related news incidents in individual counties, as well as immigrant detention facilities with documented health and security inspection failures.
All the tracking, logging, preserving is cool and all but it doesn’t do anything to actually stop them.
The time to move onto new things needs to come. Make sites showing how to organise, train, and resist, make sites giving the names and addresses of ICE agents and their supporters, etc.
