Think the important lesson here is to never be afraid to make the first moves, even if it might seem scary at first. With raids you gotta move fast, and the risks of inaction are too great.

This is so true. Raids happen quickly & often early in the morning. The only way to successfully resist them is for the necessary info, will, courage & relationships to come from the neighbourhoods in which they take place.

In case it wasn't obvious, other battles are being fought right now, as they've always been. The war on migrants is one thing that doesn't cease, but gathers pace, as well as the terror visited on prisoners worldwide.

Direct action can stop the raids: Immigration Enforcement complained of '27 significant “incidents of disruption” in 2017, and 21 in just the first 6 months of 2018. This forced a general tactical retreat'.
