Hundreds of Anti-ICE Activists Attend Training in Oakland on 'Concrete Tactics' to 'Resist' Trump Agenda
RedState ^ | 10/6/2025 | Mike Miller

Posted on 10/06/2025 9:36:20 AM PDT by Signalman

Most of us are familiar with the various tactics and strategies of the left — including congressional Democrats — in opposition to virtually everything related to President Donald Trump.

Whether it be Trump's legislative proposals, executive orders, or presently at the top of the list, sending ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents and National Guard troops to out-of-control Democrat-run cities to forcibly remove illegal aliens and/or quell rampant violent crime, radical leftists remain hellbent on stopping the Trump administration at every turn.

In Oakland, CA, on Sunday, hundreds of TDS-riddled radical activists attended a "training session" designed to teach "concrete tactics" that protesters could employ to better "resist" Trump and his no-nonsense administration.

Before we continue with the story at hand, let's first (re)visit the definition of "insurrection."

As you'll recall, Congressional Democrats and their sock puppets in the media ridiculously described the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot as an "insurrection." They continue to do so. Please.

By its simplest definition, "insurrection" can be defined as "a violent uprising against an authority or a government," while Britannica describes the term, thusly: "an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority of a nation-state or other political entity."

So here's the salient point:

While January 6 was a fired-up protest that got out of control, the violent actions of anti-ICE, pro-illegal alien zealots aided and abetted by Democrat governors and mayors, are clearly — in my not-so-humble opinion, demonstrable acts of insurrection — per definition.

Back to the 'Training Session' As reported by the (left-wing rag) San Francisco Chronicle, on Sunday:

Bay Resistance, a social justice nonprofit created during the first Trump administration, organized the Sunday event, which included a series of training sessions to teach people how to protect one another amid the threat of mass deportations and a possible National Guard deployment in San Francisco or Oakland.

During a morning session, organizers discussed the rise of authoritarianism, strategies used by successful antiauthoritarian movements around the globe, and noncooperation tactics, such as economic and corporate boycotts, labor strikes and transportation blockades.

Bay Resistance organizers said they have already launched several campaigns, including a Tesla Takedown, a push to prevent ICE from opening a detention facility at the former federal women’s prison in Dublin, and a volunteer effort to protect day laborers at spots where they congregate for work.

In preparation for a potential National Guard deployment or Immigration and Customs Enforcement escalation in the Bay Area, organizers said they would quickly mobilize people for a mass display of unity at San Francisco’s Embarcadero Plaza. They also called on people to hold vigils at their local libraries at 5 p.m. the day after such an announcement.

Uh-huh. We've seen all too many times how radical-leftist "vigils" turn out, haven't we? Yep, they're right up there with the left's infamous "peaceful protests."

Jane Martin, an organizer with Bay Resistance, said of the "training":

We see Trump making all these threats against the Bay Area and sanctuary cities across the country. [The training was structured to] give people concrete skills that they could use to show up and stand in solidarity and be there for their communities.”

"Be there for their communities." That's rich.

Their communities, Ms. Martin, have been terrified by violent local crime, and illegal alien crime, while state and city governments stand idly by and allow the you-know-what to go down — even when ICE agents are under assault.

In related news, an Oregon District Court judge has issued a second temporary restraining order in response to the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops to once-vibrant Portland.

I know — try to control your shock and amazement.

When is the naked bike ride scheduled? Pretty sure a paint ball to the sack would disable someone.

For decades, any “militia” organization or “right-wing” group has been guaranteed to be infiltrated by the FBI. I think sometimes the membership is 90% FBI and 10% normal guy who loves America.

This Antifa training session — any FBI in there? No?

Should they be treated like an Isis training camp?

Which would carry the harshest penalty...domestic terrorist, or insurrectionist? Loss of citizenship should be a given, and incarceration in a Sheriff Joe-type facility until they lose their arrogance, and finally, deportation.

“They have been declared to be domestic terrorists.

I don’t know what they are waiting for!!

The left has raised an army against the authority of the United States!

THEY ARE UNLAWFUL ENEMY COMBATANTS!

THEY CAN BE Detained!

AI Overview

Yes, enemy combatants can be detained and tried, though their treatment can differ from that of traditional prisoners of war under international law, particularly if they are deemed “unlawful” combatants. The ability to detain “enemy combatants” was affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court following the 9/11 attacks, though the legal framework and terminology have been subject to debate and policy changes since then.
Unlawful Combatants: This term, prominent during the “War on Terror,” refers to individuals who engage in hostilities against the U.S. but do not qualify for prisoner of war status under international law.
Examples: Members of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were classified as unlawful enemy combatants.
Legal Implications: Unlike lawful combatants, *****unlawful enemy combatants can be detained indefinitely, potentially denied the protections of the Geneva Conventions, and subjected to trial and punishment by military tribunals. *****
