đź’ĄCOVER REVEAL: New Book by Sonali Kolhatkar
I'm so pleased to announce my new book Breaking ICE: Community Self Defense Against State Terror and MAGA Fascism, published by Seven Stories press on August 25, 2026.
This book was fast tracked to meet the moment. I began working on it just a few weeks after the unexpected passing of my beloved sister. It gave me a focus I desperately needed, a way to feel useful and empowered in a fragile world.

A gripping, on-the-ground account of the growing movement against state violence, featuring interviews with those on the frontlines of the fight for immigrant justice.
A war is being waged on the streets of the United States of America. On one side, there are the ICE agents, the DHS, and their supporters, terrorizing communities throughout the United States with the threat of arrest and deportation. On the other side is the growing national movement dedicated to protecting communities, reversing racist and authoritarian policies, and otherwise challenging MAGA’s violent anti-immigration regime.
In Breaking ICE, award-winning journalist Sonali Kolhatkar presents her conversations with over a dozen movement organizers, lawyers, artists, labor leaders, and scholars on the frontlines of the fight. Through their courageous stories, Kolhatkar documents the impact of ICE violence, workplace raids, mass surveillance, and intimidation tactics, and how communities from Maine to California are organizing for a better world. Our present actions will not only determine the nature of American demographics from here on out, but also whether the future of the United States will look like an open multiracial democracy or a fascist police state.
