'ICE Kidnapping' Signs Are Popping Up Around D.C. --And the White House Is Freaking Out [View all]

The Manhattan Times
SAT OCT 11 2025
Washington, D.C. residents say they’ve seen enough — and they’re taking matters into their own hands.
A new grassroots movement is sweeping the capital, marking locations where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have allegedly detained undocumented people. The signs, posted on telephone poles and fences, are direct and defiant: “ICE ABDUCTED SOMEONE HERE,” followed by a date, time, and a plea for others to share what they’ve witnessed.

…Presidential spokesperson Abigail Jackson blasted the signs in an email to The Washington Post, calling them “untrue smears” and insisting that “ICE does not ‘kidnap’ anyone.”

But that hasn’t stopped residents from putting up more. Barbara McCann, one of the campaign’s organizers, said the movement was born from firsthand experience, not political spin. “They are targeting people who can’t defend themselves — the homeless, the undocumented,” McCann said. “When there’s been great injustice, moral clarity takes a long time.”

She described watching ICE agents detain two men from a car near her home — a moment she said “shook” her and inspired her to act. Now, she’s one of dozens across the city documenting ICE activity in real time.
