"I think it's really scary this is going on," said Nicole Micheroni. "I think it says they're not being careful."

When Massachusetts resident Nicole Micheroni received an email on Friday from the federal government telling her to leave the country, she was baffled.

"At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine," said Micheroni. "So it said my parole status had been terminated and I should leave the country within seven days."

But the 40-year-old is a U.S. citizen, born in Newton and raised in Sharon.

i saw someone filming supposed ICE agents on the train the other day. we need networks that identify these people and blast their faces to the public. the public needs to be a vigilante mob. the only way we put this in check is to turn the guns on them instead of us being the hunted.

There needs to be a crowd-sourced app to track ICE, like Waze with media upload. And a slingshot with velcro-covered AirTags to keep a further eye on them.

It's fucking crazy how one sided the surveillance state is. The old justification is that it is to exonerate the innocent and catch the guilty in truth it is usually to catch whoever the fuck they don't like and also will delete anything that might remotely incriminate them or release it only after their guys are acquitted as a giant fuck you (look up the murder of Daniel Shaver).

yeah. we all know it's bullshit but it's up to us to change it. the dems aren't going to solve this. the republicans aren't going to solve this. a corporation isn't going to solve this.

we really need to stop saying "they" and start saying "we".

It wasn’t always so one sided. Jane Jacobs wrote about the power and effect of local community surveillance over the streets in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities. When we zone for and build mixed use streets with enough density and points of interest to ensure foot traffic at all points in the day from a variety of ordinary people, with a healthy percentage of them being established locals, then it’s much easier for good samaritans to notice when something goes wrong (like a kidnapping attempt) and intervene. Privacy used to be a lot easier to achieve too when you needed it.

We have the technology to make 1984 a reality. And we're slowly making our way to actually implementing it. Once the apparatus is in place it is immovable.

#icecreamtruck on RedNote has been pretty good at flagging ICE agents.
