ICE AGENTS STOPPED FOR COFFEE. THEIR ILLEGALLY PARKED VEHICLES DISAPPEAR. Across America, users are finding innovative ways to lawfully and constitutionally resist ICE. They noticed ICE agents parking like douchebags who think they own the place while grabbing food or coffee. Spotters have teamed up with property owners and tow-truck operators. ICE gets spotted, property owners are alerted, and then the tow-truck drivers move in. The agents return to find their vehicles gone. So sad. Never mind. No interference with active operations. No vigilantism. Just ICE facing the same laws and consequences as everyone else. KEEP PAXIS FREE: A BADGE IS NOT A PARKING PERMIT. Know your rights:

Imagine giving this violent thug shock gloves. ICE attracts rapists, wife-beaters, pedophiles and psychopaths because these are the monsters Trump needs to manufacture fear. This family did everything the right way. After a judge set their next hearing, masked agents tore Rubén Ortiz-López from his wife and sobbing daughter. Monica begged them not to hurt him. ICE supervisor Victor Mojica sneered “adiós,” hurled her across the hallway, slammed her into a wall, then threw her to the floor before her children. If ICE can brutalize a family inside a courthouse while it follows the legal process, it’s already fascism. helps immigrants and citizens know their rights, document abuse and expose agent’s lies. This is not law enforcement. It’s authoritarian brutality. PAXIS is free. Keep it free:

ICE WOKE A SLEEPING TRUCKER. A U.S. CITIZEN. TO INTERROGATE HIM ABOUT CITIZENSHIP. Three armed agents banged on the American driver’s cab while he slept. ICE targeted him because he looked “foreign”, that is unconstitutional profiling: ethnicity or appearance alone cannot justify detention - MAGA always gets this wrong. When he challenged their excuse, an agent threatened a “whole DOT inspection” and pressed him for his CDL. Government cannot use regulatory power to punish protected speech or refusal to answer voluntary questioning. That raises a serious First Amendment retaliation issue. is free, and helps citizens and immigrants identify these violations and respond lawfully, so they don’t get duped by illegal ICE agents.

How f*cking dumb does ICE have to be to try to enter a foreign consulate? ICE agents apparently needed a consular staffer to explain the Vienna Convention to them at the door. If ICE agents do not understand that they cannot just barge into a foreign consulate without permission, maybe they should start using too. It explains the basics: warrants, consent, protected spaces, rights, documentation, and what government agents are not allowed to do. is free for immigrants, citizens, witnesses, and apparently anyone in uniform who missed the lesson on “you can’t trigger an international incident because you saw a brown person.” Help keep it free: Know your rights.

“Do it the right way,” MAGA said. Oswaldo Pirela did. He fled political persecution in Venezuela, applied for asylum through the legal process, continually renewed his work authorization, built a career with the San Diego Padres and raised two U.S.-born daughters. Then ICE detained him at El Paso International Airport while he was returning home from work. His family is still waiting for him. ICE has offered no public explanation. This was never just about “criminals.” It was never about “law and order.” The process itself has become a trap: follow the rules, work, raise a family, contribute to your community—and masked agents can still take you away. A functioning immigration system processes cases. A police state disappears fathers at airports and calls it “enforcement.” helps immigrants and citizens prepare for ICE encounters, know their rights, record safely, preserve evidence and fight the official lies that follow abuse.

REMEMBER: FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AGENTS MAY LIE OR EXAGGERATE THEIR AUTHORITY TO MAKE YOU COMPLY. In Aurora, a masked Border Patrol agent accused a woman of “erratic driving,” demanded her ID and vaguely called himself an “officer of the law”—creating the impression that he possesses general police powers. He does not. PAXIS confirms: ICE and Border Patrol agents are not state or local police. A badge does not grant unlimited traffic-enforcement powers, and an unsupported accusation does not create lawful authority. Do not mistake aggression for jurisdiction. Ask: “Am I being detained? What law do you suspect I violated? Am I free to leave?” helps immigrants and citizens understand their rights, document federal agents and preserve evidence. A badge is not evidence.

ICE smashed the window of a disabled Iraq War veteran, on his way to work, pepper-sprayed him, dragged him out at gunpoint, and locked him up for three days without charges. This is fascism. confirms that George Retes is a citizen, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served his country in Iraq. Federal agents smashed his truck window, sprayed him with chemical agents, detained him for three days, denied him contact with his family, and released him without charges. He missed his daughter’s third birthday while sitting in a cell. No person on American soil should fear being treated this way, least of all a citizen and veteran at the hands of his own government. A nation that can do this to a U.S. citizen and veteran can do it to anyone. PAXIS helps you prepare for ICE encounters, help friends and family if you are taken, and deal with the aftermath:

A CAMERA IS NOT A CRIME. A BADGE DOES NOT CANCEL THE CONSTITUTION. In Baltimore, ICE illegals pushed a woman against a wall, handcuffed her and led her away. She was a U.S. citizen recording immigration arrests. Considering the number of rapists, child molesters and violent thugs ICE employs, and the threat of “you’ll be next,” this was genuinely concerning. PAXIS is a donation-funded resource that helps you understand your rights during ICE encounters, including how to respond when you’re illegally stopped and how to document the crimes ICE commits.

Will one member of the media please come to the defense of a female reporter when Trump attacks her? Is there not one of you in the White House press pool that has the courage to get in Trump’s face, call him out for the cowardly pig he is, & stand up for your female colleagues?

LOOK AT THEIR FACES. THEN TELL US THIS IS MAKING AMERICA GREAT. Outside New York’s Federal Plaza, memorial posters expose the human cost of Trump’s authoritarianism. Every face was a person. Every name belongs to a family still waiting for answers. By May 18, AP reported at least 51 deaths in ICE custody since Trump’s second term began. You cannot claim to be “pro-life” while shrugging at deaths in detention. You cannot preach “law and order” while dodging accountability. Read their names. Document safely with PAXIS.

RACISM DOESN’T NEED A BADGE TO TERRORIZE A FAMILY - According to MAGA, brown skin is evidence of criminality. A father in a mixed race marriage was walking with his six-year-old daughter in San Jose when a woman accused him of trafficking her because their skin colors differed. She questioned his immigration status, then committed a felony by claiming to work “with the feds.” This is the poison of Trump's racist political rhetoric: turning ordinary families into targets. Politicians preach suspicion. Children endure the consequences. PAXIS exists to help American families understand their rights during unhinged, dangerous and un-American MAGA encounters. Because nobody should have to prove they belong simply for walking with their own child. Know your rights: [ Record safely. Demand accountability. Help keep PAXIS free: [

HE GAVE AMERICA 20 YEARS OF SERVICE. AMERICA TOOK HIS WIFE. Retired Staff Sgt. Wilmer Trujillo served in the Army and Texas National Guard, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump’s government repaid that sacrifice by detaining his wife, Arelys Barahona-Martinez, during a routine ICE check-in. She has no criminal record and was pursuing a legal path to residency. Now she must fight for due process from behind bars while her veteran husband begs his own country to stop destroying his family. helps families understand their rights, document ICE and preserve evidence.

Susan Collins may have just walked into the biggest political liability of her career. explains: This week’s ICE killing in Maine transformed immigration from a border issue into a hometown tragedy. The man killed was not the person agents were seeking, and the agents were masked, driving unmarked cars and not wearing body cameras, all the hallmarks of a gang trying to carjack you. PAXIS helps immigrants and allies prepare for ICE encounters and deal with the consequences: Now Collins owns the politics of it. As chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, she played a significant role in funding and expanding ICE. Maine voters are rightly linking her to an agency associated with what looks more like a gang killing targeting nonwhite residents, with no accountability. The moderate brand that kept her in office for decades has unraveled.

“BITCH, FUCK YOU” IS PROTECTED SPEECH. Saying it to Border Patrol, ICE or any federal officer is protected by the First Amendment. The fact that DHS officers do not understand one of America’s most fundamental rights shows how deep the incompetence runs under Trump. Those words alone are not a threat, obstruction or lawful basis for arrest. But officers may retaliate, lie or invent a crime.

He tells them, “GET THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY!” over and over. A man in Bryan, Texas discovers ICE on his private property without permission and without a judicial warrant. We asked Do they have to obey? Yes. The Fourth Amendment protects your home and your yard from government intrusion. Without a judicial warrant, your consent, or a recognized legal exception, federal agents do not have the right to remain on your property.

An ICE agent curb-crawls South Central hunting for Latino people to terrorize. He spots a man riding through his own neighborhood, decides from his face that he must be Honduran—and when the man says he’s a U.S. citizen born right there, threatens: “You’re gonna get a fucking bullet in the face.” This is what racial profiling becomes when you give racists badges, guns and permission to hunt human beings. This is why exists: to put immigration law and constitutional rights directly into people’s hands, giving citizens, immigrants and witnesses the words to challenge illegal encounters, record safely and preserve evidence of government abuse.

FILM EVERYTHING - THIS IS EXACTLY WHY… DHS LIED. NOW AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION HAS EXPOSED IT. DHS claimed U.S. citizen Dayanne Figueroa rammed Border Patrol agents and assaulted them. She was never charged. The Illinois Accountability Commission found reasonable cause to believe CBP agents arrested her without reasonable suspicion or probable cause, used excessive force, ignored her requests for medical care and submitted official reports containing material inaccuracies. Figueroa has now filed a police report demanding criminal accountability. No agent has been charged. This is why we film. Know your rights: Help keep PAXIS free:

ICE/HSI agents drew guns on a family in Anthony, NM. Their excuse was “officer safety” because of an “imminent threat of death or serious injury”: a couple of women holding phones and kids they had already pepper-sprayed because they were asking questions. I don’t think I’ve seen a more cowardly group of men in my life. Without video, ICE’s lies would be believed.

AN ICE BADGE DOES NOT MAKE CRUELTY LEGAL. Masked federal agents chased a citizen, a hardworking American, and wrestled him to the ground during Anaheim immigration raids - masked, with no ID, carrying guns, and looking more like a street gang of murderers and rapists than law enforcement. So why wouldn’t you run? PAXIS APP is funded only by donations. The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable seizures and excessive force. Immigration officers need specific, articulable grounds to detain someone. Without lawful grounds, that detention is illegal. Releasing someone afterward does not erase a constitutional violation. ICE are the illegals here. People should be able to earn a living without masked men turning their workplace into a scene of fear and humiliation. Immigration status does not make cruelty acceptable.
