Know Your Rights
Remember, all people in the U.S., regardless of immigration status, have rights under the U.S. Constitution and other laws. Make sure you know your rights if you are approached by police or ICE.
It is extremely important that you verify information and accuracy before spreading information regarding ICE activities or information. Only share what you have personally witnessed. This will help us avoid the divulging of incorrect information and communities entering into panic.
Please call your steward, organizer, or the Member Resource Center (866-933-7348) with any information you know firsthand.
