But there is another truth, too: that everywhere ICE goes, they have been met with ridicule, resistance, and contempt from ordinary Americans, unarmed and unbending, who have faced down the kidnappers and bullies in persistent protests and street actions – sometimes even succeeding in freeing a kidnapped neighbor or bullying the thugs out of their neighborhoods. This, too, is a truth of this country: that people like Martinez, and like Good, are more numerous than the racists and the autocrats. On social media, Jon Collins, a reporter for Minnesota Public Radio, shared video of ICE agents in Minneapolis being surrounded and confronted by protesters in the immediate aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting. In the clip, regular Americans, bundled up against the midwestern winter, surround the armed agents in a tight, angry circle. “Are you going to shoot someone else and kill them? Are you going to murder someone else?” one man taunts. It’s not an idle question: the protesters, civilians and ordinary people, are facing down armed men who have shown themselves capable of bigotry, brazenness, and murder. A moment later, someone shouts: “You can’t kill us all, Nazis. You can’t kill us all.”
