SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

How relieved Elon Musk must be that CNN, The Los Angeles Times, and others have confirmed that everything he said about L.A. Fire Department budget was disinformation seeking to distract L.A. leaders from saving lives and property!

Now he can correct himself!
