The ICE event had its facebook page deleted for a number of reasons. There will still be an event of some kind and the safety precautions for it are not as developed as they should be for such a large event. That said people are working on putting together as much safety and organization as they can with limited time, and a new facebook page is up with updated info (it's still at Westlake at 11a/1p)
