Website Launched to Target ICE Agents’ Locations
On January 31, the 50501 movement shared in a threaded post that they have launched a website designed to identify hotels where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents might be staying.
This group previously organized the nationwide “No Kings” protests in 2025. The website’s tagline—”Make your ICE feel at home wherever you go”—along with their announcement, suggests they are encouraging businesses to commit to not serving ICE agents.
The website offers strategies for users to “help fight ICE,” including suggestions for contacting hotels, booking rooms, and coordinating “noise protests” to disrupt ICE activities while alerting nearby communities. Recently, in Minneapolis, anti-ICE activists effectively employed these “noise protests,” banging pots and pans, blowing whistles, and chanting slogans near hotels where federal agents were suspected to be lodged.
According to the site, people should “book with the hotel and cancel your reservation within the cancellation period,” and they should set reminders to ensure they cancel on time. Additionally, users are reminded to keep their personal information secure and to employ “security best practices.”
A “Hotel ICE Sightings” map has also been made available, though it currently lists only two locations, one of which is in Arvada, Colorado.
Further posts reference a toolkit titled “Shutout ICE,” which urges individuals to prepare for a general strike. The document emphasizes the power of a general strike as a means of exerting pressure but cautions that effective strike action necessitates thorough preparation and a supportive community framework.
This toolkit suggests that organizers should launch community fundraisers to gather resources for the strike, noting that participants will still have essential expenses like housing and food to manage.
Requests for comments from the 50501 movement went unanswered. A recent report suggests that anti-ICE protesters are increasingly endorsing more extreme actions. The “Anarchist Manifesto,” released last year, argued for the “complete annihilation” of political adversaries but critiqued certain factions for being “behind the curve.”
