Protest Against ICE: Expose the LICE

ICE isn’t an agency — it’s a machine. A cold, dehumanizing force designed to hunt down dreams and spread fear. But they’re not the ones being robbed. They are the true LICE of the system — parasites feeding off the state while pretending to protect it.

They paint immigrants as a burden, but the truth is simple: this country was built by migrant hands, migrant sweat, and migrant hope. Immigrants aren’t draining the system — they are the system. They clean homes, pick crops, build skylines, and pay taxes without rights. They are the backbone, not the threat.

The real leeches are those profiting off detention centers. The real thieves are those cashing checks from private prison contracts while children sleep in cages. The real danger is funding ICE to act like a paramilitary force in Latino neighborhoods, fields, and even churches.

We demand justice, not cages. We demand humanity, not medieval policies. ICE doesn’t protect — ICE persecutes. And if anyone’s sucking the life out of this country, it’s them: the LICE of power, feeding on fear and control.
