In Los Angeles and across the country, people are standing in front of factories, schools, houses, and on the streets to prevent the immigration authorities (ICE) from arresting, kidnapping, and deporting colleagues, neighbors, and family members. State police already took action against the protesters, now President Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard and Marines. He speaks in fascist terms of an “invasion by foreign criminals” and calls the demonstrators “animals.”

 

Resistance is spreading rapidly in the US, and the forces of resistance are increasingly uniting. The idea of a necessary anti-fascist united front is spreading.

The mass deportations of migrants are attacks on the working class. In Los Angeles almost 50% of the working class comes from Mexico and Central America.

 

The ruling class has always used the method of “divide and rule” to maintain and expand its power. Trump aims to establish a fascist dictatorship to enforce the plans of the most reactionary sections of US imperialist finance capital and maintain world domination. Leading officials of the Democratic Party like the governor of California are trying to exploit the situation in order to influence the resistance for their purpose of defense of a bourgeois democracy.

 

The migrants in the USA are part of the international working class, and their struggle is part of the worldwide struggle against imperialism, war, and fascism. Their struggle is our struggle. These deportations are harbingers of attacks planned in many countries, such as in Germany by the fascist AfD with its “remigration” policy, which aims at ethnic cleansing through mass deportations or assisted voluntary return of non-white immigrants and their descendants, often also those born in Europe, to their countries of origin.

 

Strengthen the ICOR and the Anti-Imperialist United Front Against Fascism, War, and Environmental Destruction!
