A flyer distributed during the No Kings protest in Ann Arbor, Michigan, demanded the dismantling of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Supreme Court, and other institutions, warning of “disorder without parallel” if demands were unmet. The document, circulated at the event, declared: “In no uncertain terms, the following conditions must be met, or hostilities will continue, and they will escalate.”
The flyers urged mass mobilization, calling for protests, blockades, and occupations of research centers to advance a platform including “FREE HEALTHCARE and MEDICAL AUTONOMY for everyone on U.S. soil,” though specifics about implementation were unclear. They also advocated resistance against federal agencies like ICE, Border Patrol, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), urging participants to “destroy their infrastructure, discredit their operations, and overwhelm their personnel.”
The document targeted the judiciary, demanding that “angry mobs storm the Supreme Court, ABOLISHING IT outright,” and proposed replacing centralized governance 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 training session for “Neighborhood anti-ICE” efforts was advertised at the ICC Education Center, operated by the Inter-Cooperative Council, a student-led nonprofit promoting “safe spaces and inclusive communities.”
The protest’s rhetoric reflects growing militant language among leftist groups, with recent reports highlighting increased willingness to use violence as a political tool. Federal agencies have intensified monitoring of Antifa-related networks under domestic terrorism protocols, following incidents such as a sniper attack on an ICE facility linked to Antifa-affiliated individuals.
The flyers’ extreme tone and threats of escalation have raised alarms about potential public safety risks and the broader implications for societal stability.
