Reposted by Joyce is resistancebrian nam-sonenstein @bson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026ICE cannot do what it’s doing without local law enforcement. They need their manpower and infrastructure. That means if you want to stop ICE you are going to have to confront police collaboration and police power. I’m sorry but progressive hopes of avoiding this conflict are a recipe for failure. 51657487
