Sabrina Carpenter: “This [ICE] video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
On Tuesday December 2 Sabrina Carpenter responded to a video put out by the Trump regime, which used her track “Juno” as the background to images of ICE agents chasing and handcuffing people. Other artists, including Kenny Loggins, Olivia Rodrigo and others, have also protested the fascists’ unauthorized use of their music.
Oscar Isaac accepting The Gothams film award for Frankenstein, “Immigrants: we get the job done.”
On December 1, director Guillermo del Toro, and actors Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi accepted the Vanguard Tribute for 'Frankenstein' at the Gotham Awards, and made the following statements:
St. Susanna Parish, Dedham, Massachutts: “I.C.E. WAS HERE”
St. Susanna Parish is a Roman Catholic church in Dedham, Massachusetts. They removed the traditional figures of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus from their nativity display this Christmas and replaced them with a sign that reads “I.C.E. WAS HERE” in bold, handwritten letters.
“It holds the mirror up to what’s happening,” said Father Stephen Josoma, whose congregation is active in helping immigrants in their community. “They’ve done everything that they’re supposed to do, but their status could be in jeopardy,” referring to the fact that many immigrants, community members with jobs and families and no criminal records, are being taken directly from their asylum court dates, from green card interviews and scheduled check-ins. “Some of our people would be in danger of being killed if they did go back. We can do a lot better as a country dealing with the many issues that face us.”
Saint Susanna‘s nativity scene also calls attention to ICE’s planned targeting of churches this holiday season — with orders to raid services and abduct people at worship.
Lake Street Church of Evanston, IL: “This installation is not subtle because the crisis it addresses is not abstract.”
Evanston, Illinois’s Lake Street Church created a nativity scene with the baby Jesus’ hands tied with zip ties, Mary and Joseph with gas masks resembling those worn by demonstrators, and Roman centuries with “ICE” on their chests.
Three Somali state legislators from Maine: “What we are witnessing is part of a coordinated effort to destabilize immigrant, Indigenous, and other communities of color, undermine democratic norms, and reshape the fabric of America through exclusion and extrajudicial force."
On December 4, three Somali state legislators from Maine, Mana Abdi, Deqa Dhalac, and Yusuf Yusuf, issued an open letter condemning the Trump administrations attacks on immigrants including the Somali community. The letter read in part:
...This moment is bigger than any one politician or any one community....
We must also be honest about who is being targeted right now. The vast majority of people affected by this administration’s immigration policies are law-abiding individuals who are legitimately working to attain citizenship. Many have called America their home for decades, raising families, contributing to our economy, and strengthening our communities.
Reckless rhetoric does not stay confined to speeches or screens. It spills into real life.
Dehumanizing language can embolden people with no governmental authority to harass, intimidate, or threaten our neighbors. There is no place in Maine or in America for vigilantism, racial profiling, or community members taking immigration enforcement into their own hands….
Every person in this nation, regardless of immigration status, is entitled to due process. That is not optional. It is a core American principle. Today, TPS holders are being targeted. If we remain silent, we normalize a politics that can, and will, be turned against others.
Students in Portland, Maine: “We are gathered here in solidarity with the immigrant community and against the hostile systems in our country.”
After hearing that two students from their schools had been grabbed by ICE and detained, along with their families, two student leaders met with the freshman class and organized a walkout and rally at the city hall. More than 500 students walked out of public schools December 4. They were joined by teachers, and the School Superintendent issued a supportive statement.
Two teen brothers track ICE attacks in Chicago
Armed with phone and body cameras, brothers Ben and Sam patrol the Chicago suburbs tracking ICE agents and filming raids they see as unwarranted and unjustified. They helped develop a rapid-response network of volunteers that documents ICE raids and assists families of those detained in the arrests.
Ryan Scallon: Based on this most recent statement from President Trump… I feel a need to reiterate our rejection of his hateful rhetoric and our support for all students, staff and community members.
On Dec. 3, Portland, Maine Public Schools Superintendent Ryan Scallon sent a letter to the Portland Public School community which read in part:
Yesterday, President Trump made horrible and disparaging comments about immigrants, and specifically Somali immigrants.
As an individual and as the Superintendent of Portland Public Schools, I want to be clear that I fully disagree with his statements and the harm that they create. These types of statements create fear and divide communities. In March 2025, I made comments about our support for our immigrant and LGBTQIA+ communities. Based on this most recent statement from President Trump and the impact it is having on our community, I feel a need to reiterate our rejection of his hateful rhetoric and our support for all students, staff and community members.
I also want to remind everyone that hateful speech that creates an environment of harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated in our schools or offices. Anyone can report concerns using our Harrasment, Discrimination, and Sexual Harassment/Title IX form.
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly: “It’s a dangerous moment for the United States of America when the President and his loyalists use every lever of power to silence United States Senators for speaking up."
The Pentagon has said it is investigating Arizona Senator Mark Kelly for “serious allegations of misconduct." The move came after Kelly joined a group of Democratic lawmakers who released a video telling service members they have the right not to obey orders they believe to be illegal. Shortly after the clip was released, Trump used social media posts to accused the Democratic lawmakers of "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Kelly responded in part:
