On December 3, the Department of Homeland Security announced a winter sweep by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New Orleans. According to the release, the project is:
“…targeting criminal illegal aliens roaming free thanks to sanctuary policies that force local authorities to ignore U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest detainers.”
The stated purpose of this raid may be targeting criminals, but ICE has historically moved through areas with a broader, less selective roundup process. This process is destructive to civil communities. Additionally, BPA posits that no one is illegal on stolen land. BPA sees this process as uncivil and heavy. We have categorized this sweep as a storm, and storm which impacts the Indigenous Gulf South community.
We are responding to Hurricane ICE.
El 3 de diciembre, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional anunció una redada invernal del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) en Nueva Orleans. Según el comunicado, el proyecto:
“…tiene como objetivo a inmigrantes ilegales delincuentes que deambulan libremente gracias a las políticas de santuario que obligan a las autoridades locales a ignorar las órdenes de arresto y detención del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) de EE. UU.”.
El propósito declarado de esta redada puede ser el delincuente, pero históricamente, el ICE se ha movido por zonas con un proceso de redadas más amplio y menos selectivo. Este proceso es destructivo para las comunidades civiles. Además, la BPA postula que nadie es ilegal en tierras robadas. La BPA considera este proceso incivilizado y severo. Hemos clasificado esta redada como una tormenta que afecta a la comunidad indígena del sur del Golfo.
Estamos respondiendo al Huracán ICE.
Este es un paquete de letreros para personas y lugares que buscan proteger su ubicación del Huracán ICE a partir de recursos de acceso abierto existentes. No los creamos nosotros, simplemente los colocamos en un solo lugar para facilitar la impresión de un paquete.
This is a packet of signs for people and physical places looking to protect their location from Hurricane ICE from existing open-access resources. We did not make any of these, we are just putting them in one place so it is easier to print one packet.

In September 2021, Hurricane Ida hit South Louisiana coastal communities and changed the social and geographic landscape of the area. This storm impacted many tribal communities, and Bvlbancha Public Access continues to urge you to consider donating to the impacted tribes.
