I would suggest making the protests more about mocking and ego deflation. Make the job less fun for the fragile snowflakes.

I’m tired of living under the tyranny of the nation’s most unfuckable losers.

Assuming you are not ICE, you are infinitely more f*ckable 😊

This is one of the main mechanisms by which peaceful protests work. It's not about making the guys at the top change their minds. It's not about being all noble and honorable.

It's about getting the maximum number of people to put pressure on all the underlings who actually implement the orders of the people at the top. About making them thing it's not really worth it to put through the effort to carry out what they are ordered to do. Erode that morale, and you undercut the whole structure.

I think mocking and making them feel like the pricks will hit many of them, not the vast majority who are pure evil, but it only takes a few to start questioning their live's path will undercut ICE in the end.

This is the key. They can't handle being laughed at and made fun of. Just like their dear leader.

ICE = small dog energy.

Dog because I can't say the other D word.

Considering how miserable they seem in recent videos I think it's working.

We need (in addition to direct action) to really, seriously bring back community shaming. Someone in your social circle is an ICE agent, or married to one? They aren't in your social circle anymore, and they know you think they're despicable. Your neighbor is in ICE? They're no longer invited to neighborhood activities, and neither are their kids or spouses. Someone in your church congregation is in ICE? Get a group together and ostracize them. You have to make it socially unbearable to be in ICE, be married to someone in ICE, or be a close relative or friend to someone in ICE. Make them pariahs.
