or assists ICE have a difficult, miserable life. They, their spouses, and their children should be socially ostracized. Businesses should refuse to serve them. Communities should adopt ordinances saying they will never knowingly hire someone who worked for or with ICE, including their concentration camps. That should mean anyone, cooks and janitors included. Failing to disclose employment for these fascist enterprises should be grounds for discharge. Unions should bar their members from doing ANY work for ICE and its affiliates. Working for ICE should preclude admission to practice law in any state the where the person applies for bar membership. Some of this may face legal challenges and it will be hard to enforce because of masks, etc. It seems to me that if someone drives on Alligator Alley five days a week, eventually folks will figure out where he or she goes. I doubt anyone will want to wear a mask while they commute in South Florida. The point of this is to SHAME these people and make them WORRY about what will happen to them in the future. They need to know that "just following orders" may haunt them till their dying day.
This is just my two cents worth in the wee hours of the morning of the worst Fourth of July out of 77 so far in this country.
RESIST.

(43,334 posts)Should be taken. As you say, mask wearing is barely tolerable in FL, especially this time of year.
There should be a mail operation where each ICE employees residence is pinpointed. Letters informing the ICE employees neighbors should go out. That way there is a possibility they will be shunned at home. Pertinent news clippings showing the human cruelty should be included so these neighbors know what kind of person they have in their midst.
This is something that people who want to take action can do at home in whatever time they have available. It could work like the postcard mailings at election time domeaning the volunteer buys the postage and does the mailing.
There used to be a publication called the Bystreet Directory. Reference book at the library. There is probably a way to get the neighbor addresses online now.

(18,690 posts)ICE to Dodger stadium and apparently told them to clear out of the parking lot. I could almost feel the humiliation of ICE and I felt like an entity with serious power had taken a stand for ordinary citizens and its customers. I know they are now being punished, but that was one recent event I could point to. Then that night, or the following day, the Dodgers organization announced some large scale program to assist Dodger fans harmed by the recent immigration actions. Wish we'd see more of this.
