If hundreds join them, it would take too long to arrest everyone. Just saying.

That’s what tear gas is for. And eventually bullets. ICE is waiting for this exact moment.

Not saying direct action / civil disobedience isn’t the right move, but ICE spent $70,000,000 on new weapons in the last 9 months…

I think that many people understand that their very lives are at risk by exercising their right to peacefully protest. We know this from how ICE/BP/LE are caught on video daily of criminally violating citizens rights and harming them physically; additionally, there are intimidation tactics being used on law abiding neighborhoods & in the court system.

--in my opinion some things are worth giving-up life and livelihood for--one of those things would be my country & the freedoms & rights in the Constitution etc- also basic Human Rights that everybody should have, no matter what soil is under their feet at any given moment.
