Caution

To young people drawn into actions against ICE or other institutions, please pause and reflect. Those urging you toward violence or crime often care little for your well-being. You risk becoming pawns in their broader agenda, one that destabilizes rather than builds. You may question the systems of a representative republic or capitalism—and that’s your right—but consider the alternatives. History shows that anarchy, socialism, and communism have often led to oppression, poverty, and chaos in places like Venezuela, North Korea, or the Soviet Union. Study these examples for yourself.

Ironically, the tactics you’re encouraged to use—intimidation, suppression, and destruction—mirror the very authoritarianism you claim to oppose. True resistance seeks justice through reason, dialogue, and reform, not through the chaos of violence. Don’t let yourself be swayed by those who exploit your passion for their own ends. You deserve better than to be manipulated into a fight that betrays your values. Choose a path that builds a future you can be proud of.

Consequences

27-year-old Ryan Lewis Mosqueda ended up dead. He was from Ludington, Michigan, and was killed by U.S. Border Patrol agents on July 7, 2025, after opening fire at a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas. His vehicle, with Michigan plates, had “Cordis Die” (Latin for “Day of the Heart”) spray-painted on the door, a phrase linked to an anarchist group in the Call of Duty video game series.

The ten alleged members of the North Texas Antifa cell accused of attempting to murder federal officers at the ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, 2025, could face both federal and state charges. The U.S. Department of Justice has already charged them federally with multiple counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. These federal charges carry significant penalties, including a minimum of ten years and up to life imprisonment if convicted.
