This is cut-and-pasted with permission from a post elsewhere by an attorney:
1. Get an attorney on retainer if you are going to respond to Ice raids. Write their number on your body and try to commit it to memory b/c Ice will take your phone and they are now only allowing you to call an attorney if you have a retainer in place.
2. Do not be a protester/observer AND a volunteer who delivers meals/food or provides transportation to school kids.
Mixing the two puts our immigrant community at risk because they are following observers/protesters and taking down license plate numbers. You could inadvertently lead ICE to someone’s home. As she said, “Pick a lane.”
ICE is now dressing as civilians to enter businesses and restaurants. They are also sending in ICE agents who look like our immigrant community.
Starting today or tomorrow, protesters will be arrested and jailed until a hearing- not taken to the Fed building. People can be jailed for 3+ days before they get in front of a judge. And there will be more people than judges, so jail stays could be even longer.
ICE is photographing license plates at buildings where volunteer actions are happening, e.g., churches packaging food. If you volunteer, park far away or take a ride share so they don’t get your plate info.
If you do get arrested or detained for any reason- do not say anything. To quote the Attorney : “Shut the fu.. up.”
Remove facial recognition from your phone.
Consider getting a burner phone if you are really active.
Turn your phone off when you engage in volunteer work so they can’t track you.
