How can I Legally Mess with ICE? [FALLBROOK: SIDE OF THE 395 ON RAINBOW GLEN, ~~ACTIVE~~ ICE RAID] (lemmy.world)

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.

They'd tow my my devices, but that's a good idea. I know I'm a farmer, but I'm not rich.

If they've got the machinery to tow your machinery then definitely don't risk it. At this point you can do more good if you're out of gaol and not destitute. Mind you, if you can get ner their vehicles unnoticed, a squirt of milk in the vent air intakes could provide delayed revenge when it goes off.
