Galería de la Raza is proud to present the Grand Opening for the U.S. Department of Illegal Superheroes (ICE DISH) San Francisco Field Officeinside the main gallery at 2857 24th Street in San Francisco. Created by Neil Rivas (Clavo), the facility at Galería is the regional headquarters for ICE DISH, a law enforcement agency that was first introduced to the public through a series of posters called Illegal Superheroes. The posters (as covered by the Huffington Post) “addressed immigration issues by applying current U.S. policies to characters seen as pinnacles of good and advocates of law, order and justice.”
ICE DISH is responsible for identifying, investigating, and dismantling vulnerabilities regarding the nation's border, economic, transportation, and infrastructure security. If undocumented people can be declared “illegal” due to our government’s current immigration policies, then it is ICE DISH’s view that the same must be applied to undocumented superheroes. ICE DISH’s mission is to enforce this idea by raising awareness about pertinent issues, conducting further investigations, and working towards the detainment and deportation of illegal superheroes.
Personal tours of the San Francisco Field Office led by ICE DISH agents are available by appointment through the end of January by contacting director Tanner White at info[at]icedish.org. The ICE DISH agent-led tours are donation-based, with proceeds going towards forthcoming ICE DISH operations and new programs such as the UAV & Space Program. For contributions, the public has the option of using U.S. dollars or comic book donations to assist ICE DISH with intelligence gathering.
