Across the US, grassroots organizations are actively responding to increased ICE enforcement by forming rapid response networks and community defense coalitions. These groups, like Respuesta Rápida de Durham, Community Self-Defense Coalition, NYC ICE Watch, and WAISN, are providing crucial support to immigrants facing deportation threats by patrolling for ICE activity, offering know-your-rights workshops, and providing resources to ensure immigrants understand and exercise their rights. This community-led resistance reflects a growing awareness of the impact of anti-immigrant policies and a determination to protect vulnerable communities from discriminatory practices.
