BUREAUCRAT DOGS’ ENTIRE FAMILY DIES ABOLISH ICE
On the morning of February 21st, a banner written in Mandarin stating “BUREAUCRAT DOGS’ ENTIRE FAMILY DIES” followed in English “ABOLISH ICE” was dropped over the Sam Houston Tollway near Houston’s Bellaire neighborhood. This area is home several big Asian diasporas, especially a large Chinese immigrant community.
Across the Houston area, there have been many reports of ICE raids and unmarked cars patrolling the area. This is a recent escalation of violence against immigrant communities across the United States, where both fascist groups and government agencies such as ICE try to enforce Donald Trump’s rhetoric of mass deportations. We reject the militarization of our communities by government agencies who seek to rip families apart and intimidate immigrant communities.
In response, anarchist crews across the US are engaging in Black Cat Anarchist Network’s Anti-ICE Campaign, putting up pro-immigrant agitprop in multiple states. In Houston, non-white and immigrant anarchists dropped a Patriot Front banner that was “conquered, not stolen” months ago.
To us, Patriot Front and ICE are no different. ICE employs white supremacists as prosecutors and agents to oppress immigrant communities, while Patriot Front attacked “Occupy ICE” protestors in 2018 and consistently drops xenophobic propaganda across the country. With our action, we aim to oppose xenophobic rhetoric and shatter the illusion of passive acceptance of a white supremacist agenda in this colonial hell-scape.
Banner drops are simple and easy to do. In a car-centric city like Houston, you can easily share messages of resistance with hundreds to thousands of people as they sit in congested traffic on their way to work. It’s even better when nazis give you free materials for your banners!
