10th September 2026
A professor of pan-African studies with a leadership role in Black Lives Matter urged her audience to “f— up” an officer with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Sunday, stating that there should be nowhere the agent could “go where they are comfortable.”
Melina Abdullah, a professor of Pan-African studies at California State University, Los Angeles, identified the ICE agent by name, mentioning the hotel he was staying at.
She urged her audience to “study guerrilla warfare” and use “every single tool in your toolbox.”
“So, when I say f— him up—and I say f— Brian Palacios up, who may be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn—when I say f— him up, I mean in many ways, they don’t get to do their shit invisibly,” she added. “There should be nowhere that they go where they are comfortable.”
Abdullah spoke at the La Defensa del Pueblo Summit, organized by the immigrant rights group Ventura County Defensa, with union support.
