ICE could run out of money next month and is already $1bn over budget
www.independent.co.uk
The Department of Homeland Security has requested an extra $2 billion to meet its needs by the end of September

Immigration and Customs Enforcement could run out of money as soon as next month amid the Trump administration’s ramped-up efforts to deport unauthorized immigrants.

While there are more than three months left in the fiscal year, one estimate has found that the agency is already $1 billion over budget, according to Axios. Legislators in both parties have raised concerns about the speed at which the agency is spending its funds, which may prompt President Donald Trump to seek additional funds from other agencies to support his deportation efforts.

      Ways to hamper:

      • If you see a bunch of masked people without ID or uniforms wearing tacticool gear and carrying guns, call 911. Maybe the police won’t care, but at least you’ll be wasting their time, because they will have to roll out in force to check it out. Make fascists fight other fascists.
      • If you can open carry, do it. A dozen Gestapo are going to turn tail and flee when confronted by a crowd of armed citizens. If you can’t open carry, bring “sporting equipment.” Golf, baseball, and hockey are very popular.
      • Be loud and angry. “Being peaceful” and “being loud and angry” are not mutually exclusive.
      • Take video, and then post it. Invest in a dashcam for bonus points.
      • Even if you can’t (or don’t want to) do the above, show up. Your presence gives other citizens more power.
      • If you can’t show up, that’s also okay. Make room in your home for people who may need shelter. Have first aid and food/water at the ready. Most of the efforts required to win a war are not front line troops. Observe, look for opportunities to resist, and take them.
