Stand Strong Against ICE
ICE's escalation to lethal force against citizens is a wake up call for us all. Take heed, and get ready.
Fam of Liberty, as American citizens and legal residents, your constitutional rights remain ironclad when ICE confronts you amid escalating anti-Trump protests. ICE cannot deport or detain you based on status—use this guide to stand firm. Things are heating up fast; prepare wisely to protect yourself and the movement. Those of you who aren't legal residents, sit tight. We're just getting started.
Core Rights in Encounters
Stay silent on citizenship questions—do not lie or provide false documents. Assert “I am a U.S. citizen” or show proof like a passport or green card, keeping hands visible and calm. Avoid running, arguing, or physical resistance to prevent escalation.
Protest Safety Essentials
Protesters, do not go alone—roll deep in groups, the bigger the better for mutual protection as tensions rise. Have backup plans: know rally points, where to regroup if separated, and share live locations with trusted contacts. Do not engage ICE verbally—just stare them down silently while recording safely. Get footage to our Discord instantly for public amplification.
At Public Stops or Detentions
Ask “Am I free to leave?”; if detained, demand a lawyer and stop talking. Citizens and residents can film public interactions non-interferently, noting agent badges for accountability.
Home or Workplace Protections
Demand a judge-signed judicial warrant before opening doors—ICE admin warrants require your consent. Speak through the door, refuse searches without probable cause; no one can waive your rights.
Special Advice for Veterans
Veterans in the Fam, pair your DD-214 or VA ID with citizenship proof for quick verification. In groups, stare down agents wordlessly, capture video, and forward to Discord—your service demands you expose overreach. Legal residents, show green card but deny consent searches.
