The 50501 Movement announced the creation of a website intended to identify hotels potentially housing United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a Jan. 31 Threads post.

The group, known for organizing the national “No Kings” protests in 2025, wrote in the post that the website would “ensure ICE does not feel at home wherever they go.” The announcement also states they are “encouraging businesses” to pledge not to serve ICE agents. 

The website provides users with tactics to “help fight ICE,” including contacting hotels, booking rooms, and organizing “noise protests” to ensure “ICE doesn’t sleep” while alerting the community to their presence. Anti-ICE protesters have recently made use of “noise protests” in Minneapolis, banging pots and pans, blowing whistles and chanting anti-ICE slogans outside of hotels suspected to house federal law enforcement agents.

“Make a reservation at the hotel, then cancel the reservation within the cancellation period,” the website suggests. “Make sure to set a reminder for yourself to cancel within an hour before the cancellation period expires.” The website also reminds users to protect personally identifiable information (PII), asking users to use “best security practices.”

A map of “hotel ICE sightings” is also provided on the website, although the map only has two entries as of publication time, including one in Arvada, Colorado.

In the Threads post, the group also linked to a “Shut Out ICE” toolkit, which calls readers to “make preparations for a general strike.”

“A general strike is one of the most powerful tools that we can use to put pressure on the system,” the document reads. “However, it takes time, preparation, and a strong mutual aid base to make a general strike effective. Therefore, it is important that we start building out this infrastructure now.”

The toolkit tells users to start a “community fundraiser for strike funds in order to support those striking,” explaining that protesters will “still have necessary expenses such as housing, utilities, medical costs, transportation, and food.”

The 50501 Movement did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Anti-ICE protesters are becoming increasingly accepting of militant behavior according to a report recently obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. An “anarchist manifesto” published last year called “complete annihilation” of political opponents “essential,” while criticizing some groups for being “reactive.”
