This needs to be posted all over states the Trump Regime is targeting for his revenge tour.

Post them inside the buildings so that they cannot be ripped down. That is surely going to have Kristi's panties in a bunch.

I think that militarizing blue cities and states is just one step in a plan. He wants to provoke violence from protesters in order to shoot at them to intimidate others from protesting. It would also give him the excuse to declare martial law and suspend all civil liberties and the Constitution itself. It would be Trump's Reichstag Fire.

Also possible that he has some outrageous announcement planned regarding policies or his absolute power and is setting up troops in places where he expects that the strongest protests and resistance would come from.

They have no concern for the law. They will certainly not be deterred by no-trespassing sign.

It's important that the world see how so many Americans are responding to the breakdown of the rule of law,

But the victory, for now at least, will only be symbolic.

the more ways ICE is told they are not welcome the better.
If they have any scruples left (hah!) it will eat at them. The more ways and the more times they are reminded they have chosen the wrong side of history, the better.
Make them pariahs.

It's important to show that people still understand their constitutional rights, especially when the government is violating them.

I would train my employees to lock the door when they see ICE approaching.

Let's see if they will start breaking down doors and smashing glass to get inside.

The next round of posters might read:

De-ICEing procedures in place in this establishment.
Masked persons will be assumed to be entering to commit robbery, and will be received as such. The only uniformed persons welcome are police officers or US military in full dress.

...and I like that is shows support for the community, but it if they are there for an enforcement action, it's completely unenforceable. Now, if some guy walks in and has ICE or DHS or whatever visible on their clothing and wants to eat lunch or buy something, then the owner can refuse to serve them. But they can't stop an enforcement action taking place in the public part of a business.
