Time to dildo up:Nationwide FUCK ICE DAY protest on April 11 at detention centers

Time to dildo up:Nationwide FUCK ICE DAY protest on April 11 at detention centers
March 25, 2026

By Hannah Saunders

A flyer circulating on Reddit aims to rally people nationwide on April 11 for a FUCK ICE DAY protest at their local immigration detention centers, with a high emphasis on dildos. This comes as people in the U.S. are increasingly outraged by ICE’s actions, and after protesters in Minnesota chucked a mass amount of fake dicks at officers and DHS vehicles outside of the local facility earlier this year.

The colors used on the flyer make it visually inaccessible. It says:

FUCK ICE DAY NATIONWIDE

Minneapolis’ “Operation Dildo Blitz,” was fairly successful: Some were purchased from the Trans-owned adult store in the city, Smitten Kitten, which had been tirelessly raising funds and providing direct mutual aid to neighbors who have been too afraid to leave their homes. Other dildos were donated by Closer to the Edge, a news Substack that “refuses to look away when the truth gets ugly,” which has its logo on the circulating flyer.

It also gained the attention of a bunch of social media users, going viral on different platforms. But throwing dildos at someone may result in a criminal offense, and 42 were arrested during Operation Dildo Blitz, according to 38th Street Media.

Common Dreams reported on protesters shouting “Eat a dick!” and “Fuck ICE!” with one telling the outlet that they attended the protest “because ICE likes to bend over for Daddy Trump.” Federal officials responded with physical force and crowd control measures.
