Abolish ICE, 'No ICE in the Cup' mass call set for June 4
Organizers scheduled a nationwide No ICE in the Cup mass call for June 4, 2026 at 6 PM ET to demand abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and closure of immigration detention centers. They plan to gather people and organizations across the country to oppose ICE deployments at FIFA games and other public events, arguing the agency normalizes a paramilitary force on civilian streets. The campaign pairs the June 4 call with strategic material, including an essay titled How Not to Abolish ICE that draws lessons from two decades of activism. Supporters also demand abolition of private prisons and prosecutions for those WHO inflict inhumane treatment on detainees, saying ending ICE operations matters because it reshapes how government enforces immigration and public order.
I'm seeing people post and repost, "ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE." Y'all, it's about more than one thing.
Puff the Magic Hater213Long before ICE functioned as the secret police of an overtly fascist regime, the agency was an evil force that preyed on immigrants, as were previous iterations of immigration policing.
Bailey G. Albreit9For instance, it's also about ethnic cleansing. I'm boggled that some ICE employees are carrying water for this while coming from many of the same ethnicities the fascists want out of the country.

Molly (they/them) 🏳️⚧️4And even if it was “just” about immigration that would be a valid reason to abolish it.
october krausch2the responses to this thread are so depressing!
OPSECtarian2I’m seeing people take this weird either/or approach to a lot of issues lately. “Stop being mad at Trump; be mad at Republicans who won’t get him out of office.” Seems both fair and efficient to hate both, but I guess they’re worried we’ll exhaust our National Strategic Hate Reserve or something.
maryv409.bsky.social2How about, "ICE is not just about immigration ..."
They Call Me Gary2Hitler established The Geheime Staatspolizei (Secret State Police) in 1933. It operated essentially above the law, using informants, surveillance, and torture to target, interrogate, and deport political dissidents and marginalized groups Sound familiar? Trump is using ICE for more than intended 🤔
