WASHINGTON — The Amsterdam-based activist continues to infuriate nativists on the far-right, from xenophobic senators like Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, to the MAGA media chorus of ICE apologists who insist without evidence that naming agents imperils the agents. We chatted yesterday with Skinner who was kind enough to answer my questions. Below is the Q&A, complete and unabridged:
PABLO MANRÍQUEZ: So my first question is, since you live in Amsterdam, ICE has no jurisdiction over you at all. Is that correct?
DOMINICK SKINNER: Yes, rather humorously, the legislation being pushed cannot affect me without a U.S. invasion and occupation of the Netherlands, not to give them ideas.
PM: What motivates you to do the work of unmasking ICE agents in a foreign country?
DS: It’s one of those moments in history you don’t know how you’ll react until it happens. If the USA falls to authoritarianism, especially of the fascist variety, it’s a danger to the planet. We’re already seeing copycat crackdowns here in Europe. I felt the need to do something—and this I could do.
PM: Beyond your self-preservation as a European, is your stand against ICE also a stand with migrants?
DS: Without question. I’m Irish. We survived because the world accepted us as migrants. I believe in frictionless borders, equal economic opportunities, and that in a fair world migration wouldn’t even be an issue.
PM: How much time do you spend on ICEList? How many volunteers do you have?
DS: Some days six hours or more, other days just a few. We passed 200 volunteers this week, and are now splitting them into state groups. We’re still recruiting—especially for ground work: showing up where ICE is, taking photos, filing FOIAs, and spreading the word.
PM: Are most of the volunteers European or American?
DS: Mostly American. But tips come from over 80 countries. Canada and the UK are especially active.
PM: Beyond ICEList, can you say a little about your personal background?
DS: I grew up in Ireland, was homeless from 15 until 22. The government’s Catholic-inspired red tape kept me from aid. When I finally got out, I left Ireland, angry at the state but grateful for the generosity of ordinary people who helped me survive. That generosity is what I believe can change the world.
PM: Thanks, Dominick. Let’s stay in touch.
