A far-left anarchist website has published a seven-step tactical guide to “stop ICE” and “create no-go zones for federal forces.”
The website, CrimethInc., is a shadowy, anonymous, anarchist collective born in the 1990s punk scene, which pushes an anti-capitalist, anti-cop, and anti-American agenda.
The website glorifies “direct action,” riots, looting, shoplifting, and black bloc tactics.
On Friday, CrimethInc. posted a guide on how to stop ICE apprehensions of illegal aliens.

The anarchist group is encouraging the formation of “tight-knit resistance groups” to map ICE’s infrastructure, publicize its vulnerabilities, and impose “consequences” on communities cooperating with federal agents. They advocate setting up rapid response networks to spread verified reports of ICE activity, pressuring local politicians to obstruct immigration enforcement, and fostering a “culture of resistance” that could easily spiral into violence.
The guide read as follows:
1) Form resistance groups.
Form tight-knit groups to play roles in the resistance. You and your friends may already form the core of such a group. You could focus on communications, intelligence gathering, fundraising, or some other task. Meet with others you trust and start making plans. Foster ties between different groups and demographics. Like an iceberg, the majority of your connections should be deep below the surface.2) Establish community assemblies.
Bring together formal groups, community networks, and other concerned individuals to share information, coordinate campaigns, interchange resources, and strategize together. Build the foundations for enduring trust and long-term coordination.3) Build a communications system.
Set up a rapid response network capable of verifying reports and spreading information immediately to large numbers of people about the operations of ICE and other federal mercenaries in your community.4) Strategize and set a combative example.
Map the infrastructure and support institutions that ICE depends on. Publicize their vulnerabilities. Popularize simple, reproducible ways to impose consequences every time that ICE inflicts harm on a community. Rather than only reacting in a way that permits them to set the terms of each encounter, aim to choose the time and place of confrontations.5) Compel local politicians to break off cooperation with federal authorities.
So far, non-cooperation with ICE has been performative at best. Pressure local politicians, public institutions, and other influential groups to concretely oppose ICE operations rather than simply standing aside. The consequences of cooperating with ICE, whether actively or passively, must be worse than the consequences of not doing so.6) Create no-go zones for federal forces.
If ICE agents hesitate to enter certain areas without backing from police, National Guard, and Marines, that will limit their operations. The more resources they have to commit to every raid, the fewer attacks they will be able to carry out and the more expensive their power grab will be.7) Create mutual aid networks.
Support those who have lost family members to ICE abductions. Create collective habits of care to sustain each other through the crises ahead.
This isn’t just a protest guide; it’s a blatant call to disrupt law enforcement, destabilize our borders, and erode the rule of law.
Though the group is anonymous, the collective maintains a P.O. Box in Olympia, WA (P.O. Box 1902, Olympia, WA 98507).
