Activists in support of illegal immigrants are vowing to put an end to deportations “by any means necessary.”

“All that stuff about we’re getting criminals and illegal immigrants, it’s not true, it’s racist, it’s just BS,” Kate Stenvig, organizer for the far-left militant group By Any Means Necessary, told WJBK during a protest in Lincoln Park on Sunday.

“There’s a lot of messages going around about know your rights. That is not sufficient,” she said behind a face covering. “We have a history of struggle that we can learn from, and that we can build on, um, that we’re fighting to win.”

Many signs at the event that drew roughly two dozen directed folks to BAMN.com, which includes a banner that bills the organization as a “coalition to defend affirmative action, integration and immigrant rights and fight for equality by any means necessary.”

The site makes it clear BAMN views Republicans as fascists, and describes the Democratic Party as “too weak, hypocritical, and corrupted by its own billionaire donors/owners, incapable of Defending and Advancing Democracy and Equal Rights in America.”

Signs at Sunday’s protest spelled out the group’s wants: “No deportations, organize resistance everywhere,” one read.

“Citizenship for all immigrants now!” read another.

How exactly BAMN plans to achieve those goals is less clear, though the group has a long history of violence and intimidation.

BAMN members flipped tables and chairs and shouted down the Michigan State Board of Canvassers in 2005 amid consideration of a ballot measure to end race-based decisions in higher education.

The incident came just a few years after a 2002 FBI document identified BAMN as one of several far-left groups that may be “involved in terrorist activities,” according to The State News.

Amid competing protests outside the California State Capitol in 2016, a clash with BAMN members evolved into a massive brawl that sent nine people to the hospital, including seven who were stabbed.

BAMN spokeswoman Yvette Felarca, a middle school teacher who claimed members “chased away the neo-Nazis and kept them from recruiting new members,” was charged with inciting a riot and assault a year later, according to The Huffington Post.

It was a similar situation in 2018, when BAMN worked to help Central American migrant caravans make their way into the U.S. Those efforts clashed with security forces in Tijuana, who alleged BAMN activists were violating Mexican laws and risking the lives of migrants, according to El Imparcial.

The resistance in Tijuana turned into a riot that temporarily delayed the eviction of migrants from a makeshift shelter, the Mexican news site reports.

A year later, the FBI opened an investigation into BAMN for “domestic terrorism,” citing the Sacramento riot, though BAMN leaders argued the investigation was racist.

“The FBI’s interest in BAMN is part of a long-standing policy … Starting with their campaign to persecute and slander Dr. Martin Luther King, they have a racist history of targeting peaceful civil rights and anti-racist organizations, while doing nothing to prosecute the racists and fascists who attacked Dr. King and the movement he built,” then BAMN national chair Shanta Driver told The Guardian at the time.

Other less high profile BAMN antics have involved collaboration with Occupy Wall Street, the nation’s teachers unions, and failing schools to preserve union jobs, according to EAGnews.

Those efforts involved arrests for members chaining themselves to school buildings and crashing board meetings.

The Lincoln Park protest on Sunday comes amid the largest deportation effort in U.S. history, which President Trump launched on the first day of his second term, honoring his promise to put an end to millions of illegal entries each year along the southern border.

Michigan, meanwhile, continues to suffer the consequences illegal immigration with the arrest of migrants who have claimed the lives of residents, or put them at risk.

In just the last few weeks, illegal immigrants have faced charges for the murder of a Kent County woman, an ATM break-in and high speed chase in Ottawa County, and the repeated sexual assault of children in Macomb County.

Those cases are among scores of others involving heinous crimes or deaths in Michigan in recent years, as the state’s population of illegal immigrants has swelled to more than 100,000.

Data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement released in September showed more than 662,000 illegal immigrants on the agency’s docket who have criminal convictions or charges pending.

Those criminals, the vast majority free to roam the U.S., include 13,099 convicted murderers, 15,811 convicted of sexual assaults, 162,231 convicted of assault, 56,533 with dangerous drug convictions, 5,797 convicted of fraud, 18,234 convicted of larceny, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 13,423 with weapons convictions 10,031 convicted of robbery, 9,461 with non-assaultive sexual convictions, 2,521 kidnappers, and 217 convicted of extortion.
