Pro-Illegal Groups Advise Against Blowing Whistles So as Not to Trigger Trauma Responses in POC

If you've watched any video of ICE making arrests, you've no doubt been assaulted by the sound of continuous whistle-blowing. Pro-illegal alien groups like ICE Watch have trained their supporters to blow whistles to alert any criminal illegal aliens that ICE is in the area.

Andy Ngo reports that pro-illegal groups in Maryland and the Washington, D.C., area have been advising their comrades NOT to blow whistles in their attempts to impede ICE operations, because the noise is harmful to people of color. "Noise Is Not Neutral" reads one flyer, explaining that "Black and Brown communities are already overexposed to chronic noise pollution due to racist zoning, redlining, and disinvestment," and "Adding whistles into these environments means adding another stressor to bodies already under siege."

… them feel like heroes. They say the whistle should be banned from ICE Watch "rapid response" networks.

Another flyer says loud, unexpected alarm sounds can trigger panic responses, re-activate trauma, and cause disassociation or shutdown.

This reminds us of the movement to bring back finger snapping to replace clapping, because loud applause can be a trigger for some people.
