Nothing good comes from antagonizing ICE directly. You will not stop a single person from being kidnapped by confronting ICE directly. They'll just go back and get more funding, more manpower, more resources, more militarization, and more and more people will be kidnapped. So it's not really like treating the cough with Robitussin. It's more like treating it with cocaine. Or asbestos.

If "Slashing Tires" is your level of commitment, you're better off slashing the tires of a random millionaire. Instead of ICE demanding more resources for their operations, that millionaire will demand resources be diverted to protecting their cars instead of abducting people. Meanwhile, we all cheer every time we read about a 1% being targeted.
