[Xmca-l] Fwd: [liberationtech] Mobile App for ICE Checkpoints?

[mike cole]

This string of messages about the current deportation surge seems
worthwhile people knowing about, if only to keep track of the rapidly
changing conditions in the social/political system in the US.

Various suggestions are made along the way that offer different solutions
to those under threat. i have no idea which are most easily appropriated.

This is one case where we should look abroad for examples, as these types
of situations are not abnormal globally.

I know that in Iran, there is a tool that is used for avoiding morality
police - something that should be easily adaptable to this case (and I
believe is open source)
