This past Friday evening in Miami was defined by collective resistance, as communities came together to demand ICE out. We reject a system that criminalizes movement and uses fear, surveillance, and separation as tools of so-called “governance.”

There is no such thing as an illegal person. Enforcement, detention, and deportation are merely violence in action. We refuse to accept these harms as normal or necessary, and we refuse to stay silent while our neighbors are targeted and assaulted.

We’re proud to have stood alongside so many passionate voices in defense of safety and freedom without conditions or borders. Thank you to everyone who came out and braved the cold to make their voices heard.

ICE out. Always.
