    So…those of you who have lived though things like this, realistically what can an individual do?

    Im talking beyond voting. Stock up on things? Get to know all my neighbors?

    Because of an earlier Executive order, ICE (and related law enforcement) no longer needs to have a warrant. Now we are talking about militarizing local police forces. What happens if my family and I get disappeared?

      Organize. Organize. And organize.

      Not speaking from experience, but if history has taught us anything, the best course of action is practicing mutual aid. Talk to locals. And arm yourselves.

      Check in with friends and family regularly. If you go missing, have them report it and call your lawyer.

      Ideally you wouldn’t let them take you alive, since CECOT is a death sentence anyway.
