Dianne Feeley discusses Trump's brutal immigration policies and ways that those of us with citizenship can support our neighbors and build opposition to deportations. This July 2025 talk is an earlier version of her discussion available in the September-October 2025 Against the Current. Feeley has appeared previously on the Old Mole, most recently discussing tariffs and labor internationalism.
Like Promise Li's discussion of resistance to ICE in Los Angeles and Ivan Drury Zarin's discussion of Capitalism's Enduring Use for Borders, shared previously on the Old Mole, this talk was part of an event held in July 2025 by the organization Solidarity on the Origins & Problems of the Anti-Migrant Panic. That panel discussion was the culmination of a reading and discussion group on the same topic.
Feeley recommends this guide, which is designed for employers but can be fruitfully used by workers: A Guide for Employers: What to Do if Immigration Comes to Your Workplace - NILC. She also suggests a variety of resources available here: An Injury to One is an Injury to All: Resources for Immigrant Workers and Allies | Labor Notes.
