Documenting ICE Incidents During Coronavirus Pandemic
| ICE is still arresting and detaining immigrants during this global pandemic. Homeraids have become even more of a risk now that agents know people are self quarantining and social distancing inside. But there are still actions we can take to keep ourselves and our neighbors safe. We teamed up with United We Dream to create a tipsheet on what to document if ICE shows up at your door, and how you can engage your neighbors for support. Knowing your rights and filming might not stop the enforcement in the moment, but it can help you fight your case down the line. Check out our tipsheet below (available in English and Spanish) and please share with your communities on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
