In the shadow of President Donald Trump's renewed push for mass deportations, a web of grassroots networks has emerged in states like Minnesota and California to counter U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. These groups, often comprising volunteers, nonprofits, and community advocates, utilize rapid-response systems, encrypted communications, and on-the-ground patrols to monitor and resist federal agents.

In the ever-shifting landscape of American political activism, few things highlight inconsistencies like the recent wave of protests following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Just months ago, progressive voices were chanting "No Kings" now they want to "Save Maduro".
