I'm gonna throw out some thoughts on recent events. My knowledge and ideas are far from perfect, but I'm willing to learn, so feel free to tear my ideas to shreds in the replies. (Just be nice about it 😇)

The US needs mass resistance right now. ICE need to be obstructed every step of the way. Goods, services, friendships, relationships - everything needs to be withheld. Name and shame. People only have as much authority as we let them have (but that part's difficult given that they're armed).

There needs to be some kind of safety net, so people feel comfortable potentially risking their jobs by resisting. We should all chip in and gather funds.

State and local police should step up and arrest every single one of them. Fuck "jurisdiction". They don't give a shit about the rules, so why should we? "Federal" should no longer mean anything. They've forfeited their authority.

Any cooperation with and money transfers to the federal government need to stop. Make their jobs as difficult as possible.

There's strength in numbers. States with sane governments need to band together and resist. MAGA can't fight back on all fronts. (...can they?)

Also, I'm wondering where all the second amendment fetishists are. In my opinion, what's happening right now is precisely why the amendment exists.
