MiSC vehemently rejects the war on immigrants and peaceful protestors in Los Angeles. What we're witnessing is worsening anti-immigrant policies, with intensified enforcement. Read MiSC's full statement below:.

12/12 This article is a vital call to action for democracy & human rights. It urgently frames the current moment, offering insights for collective resistance. Read @ANaomiPaik's "Sanctuary for All," by @OxUniPress for @icahdq ⤵️.

11/ Ordinary people are resisting. "Know Your Rights" trainings, rapid response networks – these hyperlocal efforts protect individuals and build resilience. They form a "spider web of many threads of resistance.".

10/ Drawing on Mariame Kaba, Paik stresses "a million experiments" in collective care. History guides us, but we adapt. Sanctuary must be capacious, driven by abolitionist values: defend everyone, dismantle root causes of violence, build a world where sanctuary isn't needed.

9/ What now? Paik advocates "sanctuary for all." This means no "deserving" vs. "undeserving" migrants. Reject divisions, like the "progressive-except-for-Palestine (PEP)" framing.

8/ This isn't just about historically excluded groups. Paik warns these "massive power grabs" are affecting documented non-citizens and even US-born citizens. "Once the state deploys its violence against one targeted group, it uses the same justifications. to target others.".

7/ Meanwhile, state violence is escalating. ICE now cages over 42,000 migrants, sending some even to Guantánamo Bay – an extra-territorial site. We're also seeing unprecedented extraordinary renditions to countries like El Salvador, bypassing all due process.

6/ Paik links this to broader authoritarianism: repression of dissent, targeting individuals like Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil, a green card holder with no criminal record, deported under "potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences," sets a dangerous precedent.

5/ Alarming trends: the bipartisan Laken Riley Act makes documented immigrants deportable for mere accusations. Migrant criminalization expands without crimes. The executive branch uses an "arsenal of policy, legislative, and enforcement weapons.".

4/ Fast forward to 2025, the landscape is grim. Paik notes immigration politics have shifted so far right, there's "even less room for justice." Both parties have contributed to migrant criminalization.

3/ A key lesson: the original movement changed the narrative. They countered "illegal alien" rhetoric, highlighting the root causes of forced migration and exposing US violations of refugee law. Narrative shift and community building were vital.
