ICE is currently engaging in and facilitating human trafficking for the profit of billionaires, and that’s not a hyperbole.

After the Epstein scandal was exposed to the dismay of the ruling class, how do you convince millions of Americans to support a new system of human trafficking on a massive scale with no legal barriers to stop it? Convince them it’s for their safety.

While the American public has been fed the narrative that the mass incarceration and detention of undocumented immigrants has been to reduce “migrant related crime”, the majority of immigrants being rounded up have committed no violent or drug-related offenses, all while nobody on the flight logs to Little Saint James have been arrested and the best we’ve gotten is a heavily redacted list given to hijacked social media influencers and a clear message from the Depart of Justice: “nothing to see here, folks”.

Besides the fact that some of the first targets of ICE were protestors to Israel’s crimes, ICE is now providing Wall Street with a new cash cow via massive billion dollar contracts to the private prison and security industry that will inevitably be used on American citizens but currently being beta tested on hardworking migrant families as a soft opening for a totalitarian police state that will be weaponized against anybody American in the working class.

But it’s not going to be that easy thanks to the hard work of activists, patriots, constitutionalists and human rights activists.

To learn more about the critical actions being taken to slow the roll of fascism in San Diego, we are joined by Mea and Ruth. Mea has been a critical voice in the Palestinian Liberation movement and Ruth is a Detention Resistance collective member which she’s been involved with since 2019.

Detention Resistance is an abolitionist, non-institutional, autonomous collective organizing in accompaniment with migrants, refugees, and those who have been criminalized by the state. With Mea documenting, Ruth has been working on the ground in San Diego in assisting vulnerable migrants against the unconstitutional violations from ICE’s ambushes on migrants seeking to navigate the bureaucracy of the court system to pursue legal status and providing support for migrants detained in what any historical expert would deem to be concentration camps.
