I’m a farmer in San Diego County. In fallbrook/ temecula, there’s a truck weigh station that’s full of ICE operatives near me. Today, they blocked off the entrance to the only road that leads to a bunch of farms, including mine. I personally have a family farm, but I know my neighbors and their employees, and they’re hard-working everyday people regardless of their immigration status.
To make a long story short, how do I legally fuck with ICE while they do a raid?
Edit: the only thing I can think of is recording and doing a verbal protest. I could try to share the footage with the local news. Given the current political climate, I’m not sure if they’d care. I don’t want to see the people I’ve existed next to dissappear.

If you know someone who works at Moon Farm Nurseries, fucking tell them RIGHT NOW to lay low. They’re compromised.
Edit 2: they took everyone. The fields up and down our road are empty. I couldn’t even get a picture because I had to drive past like nothing was happening. Fuck.
Edit 3: a couple of truckers pulled up with double wides and blocked the road. I can’t tell whoes side their on. Whish me luck.
Edit 4: I think mite have made a checkpoint for me. I think I’ll be fine, but I’m not sure. Live update.
Edit 5: I’m fine, one of the people in the double wide got taken too. Fuck this day. I hope everyone is doing okay.
Fair point, so maybe take a view on whether they’ve turned up with heavy machinery or just kidnap cars. In the OP’s case they don’t have time to prep, so they’re going to have to play things as they are. If you’re in a situation like this and do have time, you could find better ways to be able to blockade the road as needed. The blockage doesn’t need to last very long, even delaying their entry by minutes might give more people time to escape. Blocking their way out slows this operation and the next one. Once people know they’re in the area they lose the element of surprise.
