Immigrant groups have a message for their mostly White allies: Quit blowing the whistle on ICE. 

Fox News Digital has reviewed days of messages inside Signal chat rooms that reveal that a new internal feud has erupted inside the anti-ICE protest industry, pitting immigrant-led organizations against predominately White "rapid response" networks that have made whistle-blowing a dramatic part of anti-ICE protests.

In one dismissal, a "rapid responder" in Seattle reported back that "immigrant networks are being weird."

Groups from Seattle to Montgomery County, Md., are telling mostly White "rapid responders" to back off a dynamic described by activists as "White Savior," reminding them they are not cameo actors in an "action movie" against ICE.

This past weekend, the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network — known locally as "WAISN," a Seattle-based, immigrant-led organization, immigrant-led groups in Maryland who issued an anti-whistle edict last month, pointedly speaking to "white allies" who they reminded weren’t playing cameo roles in an "action movie," with their whistles as weapons of power and authority.

In an Instagram post, the Montgomery County Immigrant Rights Collective published an anti-whistle message — "WHY WE DON’T USE WHISTLES IN RAPID RESPONSE — with other local immigrant-led groups, including the Central Maryland Immigrant Rights Collective, the Prince George’s County Immigrant Rights Collective, the "Immigration Coalition," "Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid" and "UndocuRebels." The groups didn’t return a request for comment.

"Especially for white allies," they wrote, "whistles can represent a subconscious desire for authority, protection or control in moments of crisis, but rapid response is not about assuming authority. It is about showing up for your community with discipline, humility, and restraint when we question decisions made by those impacted, we risk centering our own comfort instead of impacted people."

They noted, "Loudness does not equal effectiveness."

"START WITH REALITY (NOT HEROICS)," they wrote, with the soundtrack of a popular protest song, "Que me devuelvan la tierra," which means "Give me back my land."

They wrote, "This is not an action movie. You are not in a one-on-one fight with ICE."

Adding bold emphasis, they noted, "And you are not the center of this situation."

They noted that its anti-whistle position was shaped by speaking to "120+ community members" with families who have "lived through ICE, detention, surveillance and state violence." After consulting community members, the conclusion was unanimous: do not use whistles.

The Maryland coalition warned that whistles can "escalate already volatile ICE agents," "make it harder to document and capture information," "increase the likelihood of aggression toward bystanders or the detained person" and "create confusion" for community members and children.

They also pointed to disproportionate impacts on "Black and Brown communities" that are already "overexposed to chronic noise pollution," which they linked to PTSD, anxiety, sleep disruption and heart disease.

Perhaps most pointedly, the group rejected the symbolism itself. Whistles, it said, are historically associated with military and police operations, including "repression, raids and disappearances," especially in developing countries.

"They were not tools used by communities under oppression, they were tools used against them," they said, emphasizing their point in bold.

In the new clash between immigrant-led groups and mostly white activist allies, immigrant leaders warned that the tactics meant to signal solidarity can just as easily reproduce the sounds of "state power."

But in the trenches, the mostly White "allies" continued diminishing the guidance, saying they were going to continue, business as usual, blowing their whistles.

By mid-week, WA Whistles made its stubborn position public, posting a message on its Instagram, saying, "WHISTLES WORK."

"They are a call to courage and a decision to care out loud," it declared, laying claim to the moral high ground.

One user then asked for "more bright-colored whistles that can work around the neck as a symbol of resistance that everyone can see as they go about their day."
