since i posted that thing yesterday lamenting the lack of direct action i’ve seen in the news regarding the ICE child prisons, here’s an update on two great things that happened today carried out by activists 

protestors in portland are camping out round the clock outside of the portland ICE headquarters (this technically began yesterday but has picked up even more steam today). They’ve formed tent camps around the headquarters and have been blocking the entrances to ICE offices to obstruct operations and keep employees from coming and going. At 6pm tonight (june 19) the portland DSA reported that one of the ICE offices where they were protesting was closed, for reasons apparently related to the protests

also tonight in d.c., metro d.c. DSA members protested inside of a mexican restaurant where homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen was eating dinner and forced her to leave. You can watch the full video here.  DSA members on twitter said that the majority of the other customers in the restaurant were supportive and cheered and high-fived them as they left.
