Melt the ICE Hat
The Melt the ICE Hat is a red knit hat with a braided tassel designed by Paul Neary as a fashion activism and craftivism response to the January 2026 ICE operation in Minnesota inspired by the Norwegian resistance hat popular during Norway's Nazi occupation. == Background == Minnesotans seeking a way to protest ICE activity in their state through knitting and crocheting, and disinterested in returning to the pussyhats popularized as a symbol of resistance against Donald Trump in 2016, began knitting red hats as a symbol of resistance against escalating violence, unconstitutional detainment of American citizens, and the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
