Clark is taking over the cases after the chief prosecutor of Chittenden County, Sarah George, declined to prosecute these protesters. George has been a key figure in the progressive prosecution movement and recently won a primary to secure another term.

As has long been the case, ICE works with jails and prisons to take custody of immigrants after they have been booked in. Since Trump took office last year, only 46% of detainees have been previously convicted of crimes.

Following up our coverage of current anti-ICE flashpoints around the country, we recommend this online public meeting featuring organizers from anti-ICE and anti-border fights that are underway in Arizona, Minnesota, Vermont, and Austin, Texas. Full information about the event is in the alt text.

⁨📷⁩ ⁨PLEASE SHARE PUBLICLY: On Tuesday, September 29th at 5:00pm PT and Arizona/6:00pm MT/7:00pm CT/8:00pm ET, Let's Go! will be hosting an Emergency Call on Anti-ICE flashpoints that are happening right NOW. Joining us will be those on the ground from four current struggles that have open calls for action:

-The Minnesota 15 Anti-Repression Committee, who are calling for an international day of solidarity actions on Saturday, October 3, to express support for the fifteen defendants who have been federally charged for allegedly conspiring to resist the violence of ICE;

-The National Week of Action to SHUT DOWN ICE VT from October 4-9 in Chittenden County, Vermont - ICE operations across the nation are dependent on the surveillance infrastructure in Vermont - this week of mass action aims to SHUT this nerve center DOWN;

-Activists who have been on the ground in Lochiel, Arizona where a treesit and anti-border camp have been blocking the construction of the border wall for over two months. Lochiel is one site of struggle along a 2000-mile contested border and our neighbors there are calling everyone to join them in the struggle of direct action and land defense;

-Activists from Dare to Struggle in Austin, Texas, resisting and responding to the shooting of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez by an ICE agent on Sunday, September 20th.

It is critical we connect and network our local struggles throughout the country to apply heat on ICE this October. Let's Go! is an organizing network that offers strategy, training and community. We move fast, share tools and trainings, and help local struggles take on national significance (https://letsgonetwork.org/).
