As are nearly all of us.

No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

6 months ago I would have said great idea.
Now, ICE agents have been verified by the government to have "absolute immunity", and have shown that they have no problem shooting American citizens.
There are a ton of things you can do that don't involve putting innocent people's lives at risk just to "screw around" with ICE.
If you actually want to be proactive, read the Simple Sabotage Manual or Carlos Marighella's Mini-Manual for the Urban Guerilla.
So join ICE and starting shooting american ICE officers. You have immunity to kill US citizens apparently if you do so might as well use it for good
Now you're thinking with portals!
Document. Photograph. Dox.
If you know they’re in your town, dress like them when you peacefully protest. I really wish all protesters would. Don’t let them see your faces or tats or anything.
The fear instilled in half these commenters really shows how effective this domestic terrorism from ICE really is (unfortunately)
So much for "united we stand"...
Land of the free, home of the brave.
Better idea, find a local community group which is antithetical to ICE to support.
Bug your representatives.
Show up to protests.
A lot of people have trouble with executive function.
It helps a lot to list the groups instead of assigning a task of “find one”
I’m not arguing I’m just also wanting to do something but I don’t know what to do. I have severe adhd lol
Me too, but I’m not even on the continent so can’t help you much with finding the groups.
I can travel lol
Call ICE and report the wives of ICE agents.
They're ex-wives, and the ICE agents are already looking for excuses to shoot them.
Possibly, and you could possibly be injured while being arrested and then charged with committing some crime along the lines of interfering with law enforcement.
The actual way to fight immigration enforcement is to convince your neighbors that immigrants aren’t hurting them.
It would really bug ICE if you joined the ICE OUT FOR GOOD protests happening nationwide this weekend
Judging by the way the end of the post got garbled, I suspect OP got snapped up by ICE before they could even finish typing.
ICE is the new Candlej
I assume he reached his character count limit, so I interpreted the last word as "control" although I'm not completely sure he was talking about.
But yeah you're right, OP definitely got swooped up by ice.
Good with computers?

Best risk-free option to screw with ICE is take a page from Schlock Mercenary. Help people know where ICE agents are going to be, so they can arrange to not be there.
Start or join one of those LoRa mesh networking groups, and feed them info on ICE activity.
Setup a mestastic repeater node in your area
Dude no, ICE is full of government sanctioned racist, terrorist murderers.
I think you should JOIN ICE. Record every conversation you have with everyone and leak it to the press.
Also you have absolute immunity just in case there is any friendly fire
This is the real winner. Changing culture from the outside is way harder than on the inside, let alone collecting evidence of crimes committed by other gang members.
What a creative idea for a suicide!
You're not wrong! Surely there are enough s******l anti-ICE people among us who'd be up to the task. They'd be heroes. Martyrs. As long as they keep the score even, take at least one out with 'em as they go.
Go to the political party of your choice's monthly meeting. Each party/state has slightly differen't rules, but the major parties have a local chapter in every state. Speak up when the chance is offered / on topic (it won't be everytime). This is where you learn who is planning on running before they announce - in enough detail to have an informed opinion on if they are good. that is where you go to find out how to help those who are running win.
everything else is noise that won't change much. Get good people elected. Knocking on every door will turn out enough votes toechange election results in your area.
don't fall for one party good. all are badin different ways. Find one that mostly you can support and reform it. Small issue voteres who get involved change how the party acts (in part by ensuring people who agree are on the ballot, in part because those who do the work get long conversations with the people they support - thus changing how congress thinks).
Do not try to play games. You'll lose.
That's actually a stupid question. You could get killed by those nazis.
I'd join ICE if I wasn't 58 and not in the US. I joined the local equivalent in instead (software development).
