Four people have died at the hands of ICE over the past eight days.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by an ICE officer on July 7, 2026, in Houston, Texas, during a vehicle stop while driving his construction crew to work.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero was murdered by an ICE agent on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine, during a vehicle stop.

Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva died on July 13 while being transferred between detention facilities in Georgia. Apparently, ICE agents intentionally denied him access to life-saving medication he depended on.

On July 14, a 28-year-old man was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer in Florida while fleeing ICE agents.

Stop them before they kill again. Abolish ICE.

No Way Home: An Anarchist Ex-Prisoner’s Response to Fire Ant Movement Defense

A statement from Eric King, an anarchist and former political prisoner who spent nearly a decade behind bars, about one aspect of the Fire Ant Movement Defense statement we published earlier this week discussing the Prairieland verdicts.

If a foreign army invaded this land, cut down the trees, poisoned the rivers, and forced children to grow up pledging allegiance to them, who wouldn’t take up arms against them? But when local executives and politicians do the same, patriots readily render their obedience, tax dollars, and children.

Those who are blinded by patriotism will even die to do to others what they would never wish anyone to do to them.

2026-06-30T02:46:21Z

If you are an anarchist, socialist, or even a moderate Democrat and you still have an account on X/Twitter—or have money invested in any of Elon Musk's companies—you are providing legitimacy and resources to a Sieg-Heiling white supremacist who is openly signaling that he intends to kill you.

The language about killing "race traitors" specifically by hanging them comes directly from explicitly neo-Nazi sources including The Turner Diaries and Ben Klassen, who first popularized the term "Racial Holy War."

If this is what Elon Musk says in public, we can imagine what he is saying—and doing—and planning—in secret.

We are already at war. Act accordingly.

The sentences doled out in the Prairieland case today are horrific.

Des was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of zines.

There is no pretense of "justice" here. The judge said, “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

https://crimethinc.com/prairieland

The Prairieland defendants will appeal their convictions, but the entire court system is rotten—especially in Texas. We must completely discredit the tyranny of ICE and Donald Trump, creating a situation in which anyone who succeeds Trump is compelled to pardon those who suffered under Trump.

This video shows a Tesla on autopilot accelerating into a house on June 19. It killed a woman who was minding her own business inside.

Billionaires face no consequences for their actions. This poses a tremendous threat to the general public—not just because they can get away with selling lethally unsound technologies, but also because they promote lethally unsound ideologies.

It is no coincidence that the world's first trillionaire is a Sieg-Heiling proponent of white supremacy and fascism. Only a totalitarian would want to have millions of times as much power as everyone else.

Everyone must choose: capitalism and tyranny or egalitarianism and revolutionary social change. 🏴

Gays, Crazies, and Motherfuckers: Anarchists in the Stonewall Uprising

https://crimethinc.com/StonewallRiots

What can today’s rebels learn from the Stonewall riots? Why did the uprising have such an impact? To answer these questions, we explore the previously unacknowledged significance of at least two anarchist groups—the Motherfuckers and the Crazies—in the rebellion and the movements that emerged from it. Along the way, we trace a queer genealogy of anarchist organizing methods in North America from the Stonewall Uprising through the WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 to today.

2026-06-16T17:26:07Z

Today, the US Attorney's Office in Minneapolis and Homeland Security Investigations announced "Antifa" charges against accused anti-ICE protesters. In short, after ICE murdered people in the streets, they want to pretend that those who stood up to ICE represent the real threat to the public.

Having failed to overcome the united community response to Operation Metro Surge, Trump's toadies are now attempting to divide and conquer—purporting to support the right to protest while targeting those they designate "Antifa" protesters.

The 15 people charged are alleged to be participants in Black Cat Workers Collective and Direct Action Minnesota.

The goal of these charges is to intimidate people out of standing up for each other when federal agents descend on a community to do violence to it. Make no mistake, this prosecution is directed at all who do not welcome authoritarianism. If it succeeds, they will repeat the strategy again, targeting more people.

Solidarity is collective self-preservation.

In the Wake of an Incomplete Revolution, Syrians Participate in a Global Month of Outreach

https://crimethinc.com/SyriaMujawara

Across more than a decade of unfinished revolution and civil war in Syria, Syrian activists in exile participated in organizing in other parts of the world. At last, at the end of 2024, the regime of Bashar al-Assad fell, enabling them to begin to return home.

One of the projects that Syrian exiles helped to establish is the Peoples Want network, a worldwide network of organizations and collectives seeking to foster an internationalism from below. In the following interview, participants in the Syria group within the Peoples Want discuss the situation they confront in Syria today and describe how they will participate in the Mujawara campaign, a month of events intended to interweave horizontal organizing initiatives around the world.

The last known caterpillar that could have become a Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly has died.

The term for an animal that is the sole survivor of a species is endling. In a sense, we are all endlings—each the last of our kind.

The loss of a species is not simply the loss of a biological category—it is the loss of countless unique individuals and their collective potential.

Each of us is the bearer of a singular and unrepeatable world. This is a memento mori, a reminder to honor what is fragile and irreducible in all beings.

Ben Morea in Exarchia

A Eulogy and Paean to Freedom

https://crimethinc.com/BenMoreaExarchia

Ben Morea has passed away. Known for his participation in Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the self-styled “street gang with an analysis” active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1960s, he withdrew from the city and pursued a path into revolutionary animism. In this visionary eulogy, Tasos Sagris of Void Network recounts Ben’s subsequent visit to Exarchia, the Athenian neighborhood famed as a hotbed of anarchism.

Today, the Exarchia that Tasos describes has also changed. To mourn a single person is to mourn an entire vanished world. Yet, as Tasos explores, there is a silver thread that connects Ben’s life and the legacy of Exarchia to our own present and possible future.

Ideally, people who are working together to resist ICE should organize a one-hour community defense workshop to learn and practice these skills, using this material.

Trump has been rushed out of the White House correspondents’ dinner after reports of gunfire nearby.

Regardless of what really happened in Washington, DC tonight, the Trump administration will attempt to use this to call for more repression. Remember: anything you hear from anyone in the entire administration is likely a lie. That goes double for Kash Patel's FBI.

This is not the first time we have seen the Trump regime employ this tactic. They promote the gun industry, and then every time there is a shooting in their vicinity, they try to use it to seize control the way the Nazis used the Reichstag fire. Some Trump supporters have made this strategy explicit in precisely those words.

It's nice to see Viktor Orbán lose an election, despite support from Trump and Putin.

But until we address the extreme disparities in wealth and power that enabled nationalists to gain popularity, no mere election will suffice to stop fascism.

https://crimethinc.com/soundandfury

The outcome of the mid-term elections will be determined by what happens in the months ahead—not by how successfully politicians campaign, but rather by the extent to which grassroots resistance makes it impossible for the ruling class to imagine that Trump could continue to advance their interests.

In the long run, only profound social change can put an end to the cycle that has driven the growth of the far right. We must lay bare the connections between fascists, billionaires, militarists, Zionists and Christian nationalists, cryptocurrency hucksters, tech moguls, federal agencies like ICE and the police and sheriffs that abet them, and the centrists and Democrats who paved the way for the tragedies of the second Trump era by suppressing grassroots resistance at the conclusion of the first.

Ultimately, we must show how to defeat their program, not just vote against it.

Whatever happens in the Hungarian elections this weekend, it's important to understand that Hungarian democracy has served to concentrate autocratic power in Viktor Orbán's hands for decades. Even if Orbán concedes power without a fight, the system itself is the problem.

Reigning governments always establish procedures that tend to reinforce their control. Coupled with the extreme concentration of wealth, this inevitably trends towards autocracy. We need a better analysis of the ways that representative democracy exists on the same spectrum with authoritarianism and can function to legitimize it.

Real change will only come from grassroots action, on a horizontal and decentralized basis.

The Pakistani Prime Minister announced that the US, Iran, and their respective allies “agreed to an immediate ceasefire including Lebanon.” Without speaking directly with Iran, Trump promoted this as an offramp from the war.

Today, the Israeli military continues attacking Lebanon; in response, Iran continues to close the Strait of Hormuz.

It's hard to imagine a worse outcome for Trump. He has achieved none of his express objectives in Iran, neither regime change nor suppressing Iran's nuclear program.

He can no longer pretend to be a credible negotiating partner. Both his threat to target civilian infrastructure and his claim to have negotiated a ceasefire have been discredited. Neither the Iranian nor Israeli governments listen to him. He's forced into conflict with Netanyahu.

During the first Trump administration, the Mueller investigation represented the centrist fantasy that the so-called Justice Department could halt the slide into fascism.

In fact, the anticipated reckoning, dubbed "Mueller Time," never arrived.

It really is up to us.

https://crimethinc.com/muellertime

"Mueller Time is not an hour on the clock, but a way of experiencing time, a kind of time—like crunch time or quality time or go time, but the opposite of all of them. It is not a scale of time, like geologic time, or a time zone, like Eastern Standard Time—Mueller Time is more like the End Times, perpetually anticipated.

"Mueller Time is the political suspended animation in which the Democrats wait for a repeatedly deferred deus ex machina to deliver them from this unbearable pres(id)ent. This waiting, itself, rather than any of the grievous injustices that have taken place during it, is the essence of hell.

"Mueller Time is a way of inhabiting the eternally renewed amnesia that is America. This is the real 'deep state'—the part of each Democrat’s heart that will accept any amount of senseless violence and murder and oppression, provided it adheres to the letter of the law."

Melt the ICE: The Fight Continues

https://crimethinc.com/BlockWhipple

On March 1, demonstrators converged on the Federal Building outside the Twin Cities, temporarily blockading ICE inside it.

On one side of the building, fifty people established a shield wall. Sheriffs attacked immediately, but they held their ground for almost an hour.

At least 400 people marched on the other side of the federal building to demand that ICE withdraw from Minnesota and return the land that Fort Snelling occupies to the Dakota people. Many Native people participated in the march, including members of the Dakota, Ojibwe, and Chippewa tribes.

Even after the withdrawal of thousands of ICE agents from the Twin Cities, more than 400 remain—an unprecedented number before the surge of federal mercenaries into the city two months ago.

Thankfully, people are not finished fighting ICE.

Donald Trump is replacing Kristi Noem, who was head of the Department of Homeland Security until a few minutes ago.

In short, Kristi Noem has not succeeded in achieving dictatorial control of the population of the US via DHS. Trump is trying a new strategy aimed at the same goal.

This shows that the day-to-day resistance to ICE has prevented them from achieving their chief objective. They aimed to normalize the violence of federal mercenaries as an accepted part of daily life. So far, they have failed.

Thanks to the brave people of the Twin Cities and everyone all around the country who is fighting back.

Trump's kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro did nothing to change the distribution of power in Venezuela. It only put the pieces in place to loot the country of its natural resources for the benefit of elements of the US ruling class. The attack on Iran is meant to do the same.

For the Israeli government, the entire Mideast is now the West Bank. The attack on Iran shows that they are determined to subject hundreds of millions to the violence they have already been inflicting on Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian people.

In the US, Trump’s decision to declare war without consulting Congress shows that he already understands himself as a dictator. The attack on Iranians is meant to strike terror into Trump’s foes all around the world, including in the United States.

The same weapons Trump and Netanyahu use against Iranians today will be turned on anyone who resists them tomorrow—unless we stand up to them together.

The Road to Prairieland

The Crackdown on Anti-ICE Activists in Texas Reflects a Pattern of Intensifying Repression

https://crimethinc.com/Prairieland

Pay attention to the Prairieland case that goes to trial in Texas next week.

By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.

Some of the defendants in the Prairieland case apparently never set foot anywhere near the protest in question. Just as authorities sought to crush the #StopCopCity movement by randomly indicting people on baseless charges, here they aim to scare people out of acting in solidarity with immigrants.

The murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti show what lies at the end of this road. In those public executions, there is no role for the judicial branch of government at all—the executive branch chooses the target, pulls the trigger, and declares the victims guilty of terrorism afterwards. That is the kind of "justice" that the Trump administration aims to carry out. If they get away with what they are trying to do to the Prairieland defendants, we will be a step closer to that.

Just now, while testifying before the House of Representatives, ...

2026-02-10T17:12:59Z

Just now, while testifying before the House of Representatives, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Rodney Scott described anti-ICE protesters as "coordinated well-funded insurgencies" as he called for even more funding and legislation to enable ICE to violently repress US citizens.

Why haven't federal agents begun widespread crackdowns on US citizens? Donald Trump has already called clearly for these—for example, by declaring the nebulous category "antifa" to be "a major terrorist organization."

The answer is simple: federal agencies still have their hands full kidnapping and deporting immigrants. But as soon as they can, they will use the same infrastructure and tactics against US citizens. Fighting for immigrants is fighting to protect ourselves and each other.

Neither law enforcement nor Democrat politicians' hollow calls for minor reforms will protect us. Federal officials have already cast their lot with fascism. We, too, must understand that the only options before us are revolution or autocracy.

It's safer in the front.

February 7 marks one month since ICE mercenary Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good.

It was not the first public execution ICE carried out. But because rapid responders caught it on film, there can be no question about what happened—and because angry locals forced ICE to withdraw afterwards, there can be no question about whether it was a tragedy.

Resisting makes us safer.

Some people have described the movement against police and white supremacy that emerged into the public eye in May 2020 as a "failure" because it didn't win legislative changes.

But the Twin Cities have been able to stand up to ICE because of networks that developed at that time.

Changing a system that exists to perpetrate oppression is the work of decades. What is needed is not a minor reform that can be implemented by politicians, but the kind of structural change that requires long-term grassroots struggle.

Body cams will make no one safer. The mercenary who murdered Renee Good was filming when he shot her.

On January 23, 2026, a general strike against the ICE occupation paralyzed the Twin Cities. Seven days later, a second strike took place, on January 30. The first of these mass strikes drew significantly more participants than the second.

On Saturday, January 24, in response to the murder of Alex Pretti, demonstrators gathered outside the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon.

A participant describes the experience of collectively crossing the line into resistance and discovering that, when everyone does this together, our oppressors’ power evaporates.

https://crimethinc.com/ReallySafer

"In the middle of the chaos, someone yelled, 'It’s safer in the front!' The crowd surged forward together, larger and more unified than before.

"What happened that night was grief turning into action. It was rage turning into protection. It was the understanding that when the government murders someone for defending others, the only moral response is to stand up. Together.

"As a consequence of that kind of solidarity, not one single person was snatched by the feds for crossing their blue line."

The entire administration's position 48 hours ago was that ICE had the right to commit extrajudicial murder and they had the right to lie about it. Hegseth explicitly said ICE was more important than the entire state of Minnesota.

Throwing their shock troops under the bus now is a sign of tremendous weakness. Trump's demotion of Bodino is the first of many fractures that will tear apart Trump's coalition.

Before, they were united by the war they had declared, together, on the rest of humanity. Now ICE are just murderers who were betrayed by a doddering old man, rightly hated by a whole society.

Never forget that it was decentralized, autonomous, grassroots direct action that achieved this victory—not politicians, parties, or petitioning.

In this report, participants in a march against ICE in Philadelphia reflect on how to move from symbolic protests and top-down organizational models to effective autonomous action.

As the conflict between federal mercenaries and the people of the Twin Cities intensifies, others around the country are looking for concrete ways to act in solidarity in order to divide the attention and resources of federal forces. We encourage everyone who participates in demonstrations to show up in affinity groups, having prepared concrete plans as to what they hope to accomplish and bold proposals to share with others.

An eyewitness account

https://crimethinc.com/AlexPretti

On Saturday, January 24, an ICE agent murdered Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Five agents tackled and beat him, then an agent shot him multiple times. In response to the murder, the Whittier neighborhood immediately rose up and battled ICE, Minnesota police, and Minnesota State Troopers for over four hours, eventually forcing them to withdraw.

This murder occurred one day after a historic general strike in which more than 100,000 workers in the Twin Cities walked out against the ICE occupation. Many people in the streets expressed the opinion that the federal agents murdered Alex as an act of revenge for the strike.

A general strike is called for January 23 in response to the campaign of kidnapping and murder that ICE is carrying out in the Twin Cities.

This is a powerful step forward for resistance. But in the 21st century, a general strike must assume new forms to succeed.

To understand the ways that the economy has shifted and how our strike tactics must also shift, we compare the last two general strikes that took place in the US—both of which, conveniently, occurred in Oakland, California—in 1946 and 2011:

https://crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralStrikes

When industrial workers are no longer the backbone of the economy, a general strike must begin outside the workplace as well as within it. That means interrupting the economy "from outside" via blockading and similar tactics.

Don't believe that every word out of the mouths of the federal mercenaries is a lie?

Here is Border Patrol “Commander at Large” Gregory Bovino, dressed as an officer, of the German Gestapo, shamelessly declaring that ICE is "ethical and moral" and even "peaceful" days after his men senselessly murdered a soccer mom, shot another person in the leg, and targeted thousands of people with tear gas and flash-bang grenades.

Likewise, after ICE pointlessly tear-gassed a vehicle containing four small children and a 6-month-old baby, nearly killing the baby, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin blatantly lied, claiming "DHS law enforcement NEVER targeted this family or their innocent children."

https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/ice-tear-gassed-family-vehicle-with-6-children-inside/

Whatever they say, it is a lie. Never believe a word. They do violence to the truth as eagerly as they do violence to human beings.

But if ICE can converge, so can everyone else. All out to the Twin Cities to resist them.

Thousands of people across the Twin Cities are mobilizing against ICE. Federal mercenaries roam the city attacking people at random—but everywhere they go, they meet fierce resistance.

2025-12-24T10:48:03Z

The Trump administration's efforts to criminalize opposition to fascism are taking effect overseas. Two banks are shutting down the accounts belonging to Rote Hilfe—a German legal aid organization over a century old—because of Trump designating so-called "Antifa Ost" as a "foreign terrorist organization."

The designation has no equivalent in German law. It's based on a single case with extremely questionable evidence. The German government has not adopted the designation, repeatedly emphasizing that the purely legal construct "Antifa East" poses no significant threat.

Nonetheless, these cowardly German banks are permitting Donald Trump to determine who they work with—despite the fact that the Trump administration has made it clear that not only do they oppose anti-fascism in general, they explicitly consider those who resisted the rise of Hitler to be "terrorists."

2025-12-13T21:13:13Z

When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work. The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy.

https://crimethinc.com/democracy

People imagine fascism as the opposite of democratic governance. In fact, it employs the same police, courts, property rights, patriotic mythology, and habits of obedience as state democracy. Wherever there is a powerful state with a monopoly on violence, fascism is only an election away.

This is why resistance to authoritarianism must take place at all times, not simply when an army is invading under swastika flags. We must never conflate the smooth functioning of the state with freedom itself. Assuming that the "rule of law" is identical with self-determination gives aspiring despots a free hand.

Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol official leading the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant crackdowns, is bringing his forces to attack people in Charlotte, North Carolina next.

Like LA, DC, and Chicago, the previous targets of ICE crackdowns, Charlotte has a Black mayor and is majority non-white. One of the chief purposes of these crackdowns is to normalize using federal forces to terrorize people of color.

What's new is that Charlotte is in a swing state. This has ominous implications.

ICE crackdowns have not been popular with the general public or good for the economy. Kidnapping laborers who work for disproportionately low wages is bad for business. Thus far, Trump has focused the crackdowns on cities controlled by Democrats as a means of exerting economic pressure while avoiding impacting his supporters.

On the heels of Democrats' electoral victories and spineless capitulation ending the government shutdown, the decision to target a city in a swing state suggests that the Trump administration is not concerned about electoral blowback. Whatever elections the Democrats might win, they have shown that they will collapse under pressure.

In other words—targeting a city in a swing state suggests that the Trump administration does not intend to leave power voluntarily.

On October 28, 2500 police officers raided communities in the favelas of Penha and Alemão in Rio de Janeiro to search for leaders of armed drug trafficking factions. The scene was a war zone: armored vehicles filling the streets, columns of smoke, barricades, helicopters and drones firing bullets and bombs over communities where more than 200,000 people live. By the end of the day, news reports indicated 64 deaths, making the massacre the largest in the state's history. But on October 29, the residents found more than 50 additional bodies in houses and forests of the region, raising the number to almost 130 confirmed deaths.

When we say that Gaza is the future of every favela and rebel territory in the world, this is not just a symbolic comparison. The logic of extermination is the same, whether we are speaking about organized crime (which the state participates in) or "terrorist organizations" (which states sponsor)—we are witnessing policies that treat entire populations as disposable on account of their skin color or place of residence.

Rather than permitting the Trump administration to frighten us into passivity, we must understand this broad, vague, and performative executive order designating "antifa" a fabricated "terrorist organization" as an effort to intimidate. It is chiefly intended to convince us to let them consolidate power without a fight.

If we look at the stymied #StopCopCity RICO prosecution as a test case, the chief danger is that people will withdraw from movements, enabling the Trump administration to maintain the initiative long enough to escalate to other forms of repression, such as extrajudicial force.

Confirmation from press secretary Karoline Leavitt that Donald Trump will be signing an executive order designating "antifa"—which is to say, opposition to fascism—as "a domestic terrorist organization."

What this will mean concretely has yet to be seen. The administration is not powerful enough to crack down on all opposition to fascism. In all likelihood, this is chiefly a performative measure intended to intimidate people. Only if people stop resisting will it actually be possible to impose fascist control.

For now, read this guide to preparing communities to endure repression:
