FUCK I.C.E.

It is the ultimate historical irony, considering Hitler himself modeled the Gestapo and the Nuremberg Laws on the framework of American law enforcement and Jim Crow.

When I use "ICE Gestapo," I’m using a shorthand for white audiences who have been conditioned to view oppression as something that only happens in black-and-white newsreels from Berlin.

"Law enforcement" in this country has deep roots in slave bounty hunting. The tactics used by ICE—the surveillance, the snatch-and-grabs, the terrorizing of households—mirror that history far more accurately than any foreign comparison.

records reach the sky /
profits built on iron bars /
justice turned to ash

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

three hundred thousand /
shadows moving in the night /
families torn apart

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

no crime on their names /
neighbors snatched from morning walks /
cages hold the breath

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

thirty-two heartbeats /
stilled within the concrete walls /
winter’s darkest count

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

high walls record counts /
seventy percent guiltless /
waiting for the end

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

brown hands in zip-ties /
vanished in the unmarked van /
due process is dead

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

three bullets fired /
truth caught on a steady lens /
gaslight meets the flame

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

poet’s voice is hushed /
three children wait by the door /
snow turns stained and red

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

ross stood on the ice /
legs were clear and pulse was cold /
finger on the steel

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

midwestern kindness /
waving cars around the fray /
met with lead and fire

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

silver lens reveals /
the boots were clear of the car /
lies fall like the snow

#FuckICE #haiku #ExistentialNomad

poet mother friend /
waving neighbors through the street /
now a silent ghost
