Some militia groups may see it as their duty to assist with immigration-control efforts. Some may even be deputized for this purpose by local law enforcement agencies.
There in lies the issue. Democracy is a numbers game. And the smarts seem to be outnumbered. If Trump doesn’t kill us, climate change will. Despite an abundance of frank, clear, damning information about the dangers of both. As for increasing the smarts ranks; the American people chose the guy who wants to dismantle the department of education over the guy who wanted student loan debt forgiveness. Meanwhile, we’re using what precious remaining time we have left to act on preventing global cataclysm to argue about what bathroom people use.
Civil discourse got us into this. Good faith got us into this. Civilized behavior got us into this. Meanwhile we’ve been outmaneuvered by people with more resources than scruples. If we can be saved, and that’s a big if for every day that passes, then it’s going to take sudden and drastic action. Otherwise privation may be all that can pry open the eyes of our deadweight brethren, and by then it will likely be too late.
Community is what will get us out of this. I’m not telling you to reach across the aisle. I’m saying organize your own mutual aid networks because the government does not have your best interests at heart.

So you’re not going to talk to your neighbors and try to build community then?
