It’s why we’ve launched OJO Obrero (ojonc.org), knowing these operations profile people on their way to work.

And as of tonight, over 300 people have already joined our Safe to Work, Safe to School Community Patrols: Las Brigadas Cuidando el Camino.

⚠️ REMEMBER

You have rights. Your neighbors have rights.
ICE/CBP cannot enter your home without a judicial warrant signed by a judge.
Administrative warrants are NOT enough.
