I agree with this. I just don't want to forget that the people these petitions were filed for are probably still locked up and there's no guarantee they're going to get anything resembling justice yet.

    It's in the name, right? Resistance doesn't win. Even if they are not ignored, these court orders will not end the reign of ICE terror. And it is important to remember that there are people for which the system will deny even such an ignorable court order. They are no less worthy of solidarity. So yes, this is not winning. But that's not the point yet.

    Resistance doesn't win but it makes winning possible. It slows down, increases the cost, frustrates, distracts, buys time, exposes systemic weaknesses, trains the capacity of allies, and makes people lose fear. It's not sufficient, but it's necessary.
