In the intro to this episode, I cover what ICE has been doing on a national level, how what has been happening is unprecedented, etc. If you want to skip to the interview, it starts at 8:30 .

In this episode I interview Nick about his resistance of ICE with a group of people in Portland. He has been arrested four times, maced, tear-gassed, flash-banged, attacked by counter-protesters, had his phone surveilled. We talk about the differences between what him and his friends are doing and protests like No Kings. We talk about what it has looked like on the ground there, and some of the logistics of a long-term resistance like this. We talk about what it’s like facing brand new ICE recruits, and the other local battles that are happening on the city council level to try to get ICE out of Portland. I think one of the most important take-aways from this is confirmation that we are not powerless, and also the importance of working with other people.
