Join us for a virtual training on how to spot, report and patrol for ICE activity in your neighborhood. We will also be going over in person and digital security measures to take while communicating and patrolling for ICE activity. 

Join us as we renew the Migrant Defense Working Group under the Abolition & Anti-Imperialism Committee, with the intention of building the networks and forming tactics to expand our anti-ice work. This is in coordination with the current ICE OUT chapter priority. 

The ICE Out Priority was approved at the February 2026 General Body Meeting, and shall run until the end of June 2026 unless extended. This is a meeting of the ICE Out Priority's Steering Committee. Trump’s administration has deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a paramilitary force with no regard for the law. ICE is carrying out a campaign of intimidation and violence targeting immigrants and United States citizens. ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP)’s lawlessness recently resulted in the murders of Keith Porter, Renée Good, Alex Pretti, and countless detainees.  In the aftermath, the administration intensified its assault on First and Second Amendment rights and issued oral directives to ICE to disregard Fourth Amendment protections and pursue warrantless searches of homes. To defend our communities, we commit to confronting ICE, CBP, and their public and private enablers.  With Pittsburgh DSA’s Committees as its backbone, and in cooperation with allied organizations, this campaign will take a multipronged approach to restrict, delegitimize, and weaken ICE and CBP operations in Allegheny County while building up rapid response infrastructure under the DSA banner. By the end of the priority period, Pittsburgh DSA will have:  Engaged in a pressure campaign against local government, businesses, and/or employers Engaged hundreds of people in anti-ICE rapid response methods  Strengthened the chapter’s rapid response infrastructure, including integration of DSA membership with existing rapid response networks Trained a core group of DSA members to provide security for future DSA events Strengthened its cross-committee communication and cooperation Created avenues of involvement for members of all experience levels Built a cross-movement coalition to sustain this work and advance the eventual abolition of ICE
