❗️NEW: Governor Hochul announced an updated immigration proposal that would give police officers wide discretion to collude with ICE if they claim to have probable cause to detain someone.
This proposal makes a mockery of due process and will endanger countless immigrant New Yorkers.

We always get asked: "Do you have be a lawyer to join the National Lawyers Guild?"
No!
If you're on the streets filming ICE, remember: Keep the focus on the ICE agents themselves where possible because it makes it more likely that you'll capture footage of any visible badges or other potentially identifying features. Keep recording for as long as possible.

6. If not a valid judicial warrant, demand a card and their contact information. You can end the interaction and stay inside!
4. Demand to be shown a warrant. The agents can slide it on the ground, slide it through a crack, show it through a window, etc.5. If it’s a valid judicial warrant, say that you do not consent to a search. ICE agents can lawfully come in if it’s a valid judicial warrant.
Remember, if you are in a private area of the university, and an ICE agent comes:

3. Say you do not consent to the agents’ entry.
www.nlg.org/civicrm/mail... As the federal government escalates its attacks against immigrants, university campuses have become a focus of political repression. ICE is targeting non-U.S. citizens on campuses due to their speech and beliefs. Read on to know your risks and ways to fight back!
In the past, the federal government has utilized a federal crime against immigrant advocates, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A), “Bringing In and Harboring Certain” Non-U.S. Citizens. Understanding this very broad law can help assess risks at different points of intervention!
The new Trump administration has already stated its intent to use laws to prosecute “immigration-related violations,” which can extend to individuals who help and advocate on behalf of non-U.S. citizens.
www.nlg.org/civicrm/mail... In collaboration with Southern Coalition for Social Justice and National Immigration Project, the NLG’s Mass Defense Program has created a new KYR for people advocating with and supporting non-U.S. citizens.
As more people stand up against this violence, federal prosecutors across the country have brought hundreds of charges against protesters under 18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1), “federal assault”. Understanding this law can help assess risks as you take action in support of immigrants!

We’re in Albany today fighting for every family that now has an empty space at the dinner table. For every NYer ripped from their family. For every family afraid that a traffic stop could lead to permanent separation from their loved ones.
Enough is enough. Lawmakers must pass #NY4All now.
WIN: We sued the Batavia ICE federal detention center over the facility’s policy of permitting ICE officers to open confidential legal mail.
People trapped in immigration detention + their lawyers rely on written communications to relay deeply personal info. This is a critical First Amendment win.

REPORTING POTENTIAL THREATS When reporting, share as much information as possible. Do not speculate. Share what you directly observe. If you get the report from someone else, get SALUTE before you "signal boost". S A U E SIZE - How many people/vehicles observed? ACTIVITY - What are they doing? Examples: Pulled someone over. At a person's home. Standing around in a parking lot. LOCATION - Be specific. If someone needed to find it, where would they look? UNIFORMS - Are they clearly affiliated with a specific agency? What are the colors of the uniform or patches? Masks? TIME & DATE - When did you first observe? Is the situation still active? EQUIPMENT & VEHICLES - Carrying anything like zip ties, additional weapons? Get description of vehicles, plate numbers.
The New York for All Act would establish baseline protections by prohibiting state + local law enforcement and agencies from collaborating with ICE, incl. ending harmful 287(g) agreements.
@governor.ny.gov prioritize #NY4All as the very first order of business when legislators return to Albany.
