Exposing Antifa’s Blueprint for Resistance

On a recent episode of the Inner Circle podcast, I read and analyzed the Antifa playbook for how to resist and sabotage the second Trump administration.

Find the document and the full analysis here.

The document had an appendix specifically dedicated to their strategies to combat Trump's anticipated deportations. Since that is likely something we will see early on in the administration, here's a breakdown of this portion so you can anticipate what to expect.

How Antifa Plans To Fight Trump's Deportations

Antifa’s strategies to counter Trump's anticipated mass deportations are unapologetically aimed at creating chaos, disrupting operations, and mobilizing dissent at every level. Their playbook reads like a manifesto for mayhem, filled with calculated moves to destabilize the rule of law.

For anyone committed to preserving order, understanding their approach is non-negotiable. This analysis dissects their plans and lays bare the mechanics of their disruptive agenda.

The Ideological Foundation

Antifa portrays deportations under the Trump administration as the spearhead of an authoritarian regime. In their words,

“Once that additional infrastructure exists, they will turn it against one target after another. Eventually, they will come for all of us.”

The narrative serves as their justification for extreme resistance measures, cloaking disruption as self-defense.

Dissecting the Tactics

1. Mass Demonstrations and Civil Disruption

Antifa relies on public spectacle to draw attention and hinder operations. They point to past successes like the airport occupations during the so-called “Muslim Ban” protests as proof that visible, dramatic actions can disrupt deportation logistics. Their strategy is clear:

“The deportations will not all occur in darkness; many of them will take place in public, in broad daylight. It is up to us to make sure that no one can ignore them.”

Their specific methods include:

• Occupying transportation hubs like airports to delay deportation flights.

• Organizing rapid-response networks to swarm ICE raids and prevent arrests.

• Blocking highways to choke access to critical infrastructure.

2. Targeting Logistical Operations

Antifa’s understanding of logistics is chillingly precise. They zero in on vulnerabilities, asking,

“Where do the buses come from? Who maintains them? What airports will these deportation flights leave from?”

Their intent is to create systemic breakdowns by sabotaging the gears that keep deportation machinery running.

Key targets include:

• Buses: Disrupting the maintenance and staging of vehicles used to transport detainees.

• Planes: Identifying and interfering with chartered deportation flights.

• Detention Facilities: Preventing the construction or operation of temporary detention sites by targeting supply chains and labor.

3. Manipulating Local Governments and Workers

Antifa aims to undermine federal authority by pressuring local governments and workers. Their plan calls for “pressuring city governments to adopt sanctuary policies” while encouraging workers to disrupt deportation logistics.

Their words betray their goal:

“How many low-wage airport workers have a stake in the fight against fascism?”

This rhetoric is a thinly veiled attempt to rally labor forces against enforcement efforts.

Tactics include:

• Coercing city governments to refuse cooperation with ICE.

• Instigating strikes among bus drivers, airport staff, and others involved in deportations.

• Publicly exposing ICE agents to intimidate and discourage enforcement actions.

4. Decentralized Resistance with Diverse Tactics

Antifa thrives on a decentralized approach that invites chaos and unpredictability. They encourage participants to

“…research logistical chains, outline targets and strategic goals, and welcome a diversity of participants and tactics.”

This methodology ensures that their resistance is harder to counter and dismantle.

Their adaptability and grassroots involvement are designed to pull in a wide range of participants, amplifying their reach and impact.

Preparing for Conflict

Antifa’s call to action is disturbingly proactive. They advocate for immediate preparation, emphasizing that:

“…if people get organized now and begin to map out and target the infrastructure for mass deportation before Trump takes office, they could seize the initiative.”

Their preparatory steps include:

• Mapping the infrastructure and supply chains underpinning deportations.

• Establishing rapid-response networks to counter ICE raids on short notice.

• Building alliances across sectors to maximize participation and impact.

The endgame is to overwhelm the system with continuous resistance, delaying operations and inflating costs until enforcement becomes unsustainable.

Countering Antifa’s Agenda

Antifa’s tactics are methodical and designed to destabilize immigration enforcement. By creating disorder and painting law enforcement as oppressors, they aim to erode trust in institutions and weaken the government’s ability to act. Countering these efforts requires:

• Strengthening law enforcement operations to protect critical infrastructure and personnel.

• Educating communities on the legal and ethical frameworks that guide immigration policies.

• Exposing Antifa’s methods to ensure the public understands the calculated nature of their disruptions.
