According to #ForestHills #Indivisible, ICE raided my local fruit stand yesterday. This is the first I'm hearing about it, I don't have any details other than what's in the email. #FuckICE #Queens

An update from #ForestHills #Indivisible - apparently it wasn't ICE (probably just our own local homemade gestapo, NYPD). #Queens #FuckTheNYPD

from Forest Hills Indivisible:

"Dear Friends and Neighbors,

We have ascertained that the dismantling of the fruit stand on Continental Avenue on Sunday night was not an ICE raid. While we did not see this first hand, the event was reported to us by several people we know who witnessed it.

Right now, understandably, community activists are hyper focused on monitoring ICE activity and responding. We responded because we felt that doing something was better than doing nothing.

We are sending this communication because as responsible activists we should correct our actions when they are incorrect. We don't think it was wrong to alert you, but we feel the reality should be acknowledged." — from Forest Hills Indivisible: "Dear Friends and Neighbors, We have ascertained that the dismantling of the fruit stand on Continental Avenue on Sunday night was not an ICE raid.
