Activists Are Targeting One Of ICE’s Key Staging Grounds - PopularResistance.Org
The Trump administration’s abduction and deportation machine is multifaceted. There are clear-cut components — agents, shackles, and jails — and less obvious, although no less essential, ones — cars and parking spaces. In an effort to impede the attacks on immigrants, mayors of some of the country’s largest cities, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, have issued executive orders banning Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using city-owned parking lots and properties. But even in cities where mayors have banned ICE from using government-owned properties, ICE still has free reign to contract with private companies.
