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.

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant.

i have to assume that “pursuing DEI efforts” means hiring anyone who isn’t a white man?
The Trump administration said federal employees would face consequences if they failed to report colleagues pursuing DEI efforts
Trump Rolls Back Civil Rights Measure Banning Discrimination in Federal Hiring
His order revokes one signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 that prohibited discriminatory practices in hiring and employment in government contracting.

Opinion | Enough
To suggest we should yield even a little to Trump’s odious politics is unacceptable. Even if we did, it would never be enough.
