Socialist Army Mobilizes Against Immigration Enforcement
The Democratic Socialists of America unveiled plans to deploy over 4,000 trained activists against Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in New York City. The organization’s Immigrant Justice Working Group outlined the strategy during a January 16 meeting at the People’s Forum in Midtown Manhattan. DSA leaders confirmed they are training 2,000 DSA members alongside 2,000 non-members to physically interfere with federal immigration enforcement efforts.
Marina, a DSA organizer, told attendees they anticipate “a big wave of federal immigration enforcement” under the Trump administration. The group’s strategy involves creating crowds around ICE agents, maintaining loud disruptions, and swarming operations to prevent arrests and detentions. This represents a direct challenge to federal law enforcement authority and undermines constitutional immigration enforcement.
Minneapolis Riot Tactics Imported to Big Apple
The socialist organization explicitly referenced “Minnesota tactics” as their operational model, indicating successful obstruction methods developed during Minneapolis anti-ICE protests. These tactics previously resulted in significant disruption of federal operations and violent confrontations with law enforcement. The DSA’s adoption of these methods suggests an escalation from peaceful protest to active interference with federal authorities performing their constitutional duties.
The organization is recruiting speakers of Pular, Creole, Fulani, and other languages to expand their reach into immigrant communities. This multilingual approach demonstrates sophisticated planning designed to maximize participation and coordination across diverse populations. Such organized obstruction threatens the rule of law and undermines President Trump’s mandate to secure America’s borders.
Infrastructure Built for Sustained Resistance
DSA activists are establishing a 24/7 hotline system to provide real-time coordination during ICE operations. This infrastructure allows rapid deployment of trained obstructors to specific locations where federal agents are conducting lawful enforcement activities. The scale and organization reveal this is not spontaneous community response but a well-funded, systematic campaign against immigration law.
The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s commitment to mass deportations under Border Czar Tom Homan and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Patriots understand that deportation of illegal immigrants is essential for national security, economic stability, and respect for legal immigration processes. Socialist obstruction tactics threaten public safety and enable continued lawlessness in sanctuary cities like New York.
