In-depth video: Friday night's siege of a Frederick, MD home by ICE
This battle culminated a siege of Frederick by ICE that had gone on 36 hours when ICE backed by county cops assaulted the house. Sometime before the assault it became clear that one house was the objective of the siege.
Defenders had vowed "we leave when they leave" and delivered on that promise. With the enemy's target known community defenders and a lot of neighbors tightened up their defense of that house.
In the opening stage of their attacked, ICE drove on the sidewalk, threatening to ram the defenders.
Note that ICE has become infamous for shooting when these roles are allegedly reversed.Defenders did not retreat from that attack. Instead they tightened up around the house itself, and set up an arm-locked blockade. ICE then violently assaulted the blockaders.
One ICE orc beat a woman with an Asp metal baton before dragging her out of the way. She was strong enough to get right back up after that beating, not even shaking it off.
What a warrior!After gaining access to the house, ICE was unable to find the person they intended to kidnap. This made their whole mission a failure by definition. After a total of about 38 hours of siege, ICE slinked away in defeat.
Frederick 1, ICE zero!

Wow! Kudos to #KindlingCollective for hosting this event! Giving back to those who give so much!
#BelfastME - Kindling Collective Rest and Recharge Fall
October 10, 2026
"About this trip:
Rest and Recharge is an event for folks who take part in #CommunityCare work who are looking for rest and connection.
KC is committed to creating programming that is responsive to our community. We’ve heard from folks who are deep in local community care work that they are exhausted, overwhelmed and struggle to find time to rest. In collaboration with #MCHT , we put together two day events inviting organizers to be with the land and seek rest/play. Join us for the second of these events on October 10th in the Belfast area (specific location provided after registration). #DanielleArroyo and #DaeneKugel will hold this space and offer a guided #NatureWalk and optional #crafting projects. Music and vibes courtesy of Kafari. Lunch will be provided.
Who is a community care worker?
Someone who spends time doing work (for pay or not) that supports the people in our community who need it most. This includes but is not limited to:
- #MutualAid / food delivery / #cooking & shopping for folks / #farming & #FoodSovereignty
- #StreetMedicine
- #Doula / #DeathDoula / #GriefWorker
- #Policy / #advocacy work / #LegalSupport
#CommunityDefense / #documenting law enforcement
- #SocialWork / #CaseManagement
- Community based health care
- #Elders / #KnowledgeHolders / #storytellers "This event is for Queer / BIPOC participants only!
"Queer events are designed as an affinity spaces for queer and trans people of all racial identities. If you think you might be queer or trans, you are queer enough. While we love our allies and advocates, if you’re not queer, don’t come to these events.
BIPOC events are for Black, Indigenous, and people of color of all genders and sexualities. If you’re not BIPOC, do not attend these events!"
