This training will cover:
• How to navigate interactions with ICE agents
• The broader landscape of federal repression
• Potential criminal exposure and legal risks
• Practical guidance for attorneys engaging in this work
As enforcement tactics become more aggressive, it’s critical for attorneys to understand their rights, assess potential risks, and be prepared for real-world encounters.
Join the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) and Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) for a webinar on knowing your risks during an ICE encounter. This webinar is hosted by L4GG, and will feature the NLG's Director of Mass Defense, Xavier T. de Janon.

We call on civil society and political representatives to make noise and funnel resources to these cases and their defendants. They showed up in solidarity with immigrants in Prairieland, including Leqaa Kordia. Will you finally get loud for them?
The NLG remains in solidarity with all of our political prisoners, which now includes nine Prairieland Defendants. However, we know that the battle for these folks is far from over, especially as there are still more defendants with state-level cases.
This is a successful attack against anyone who dares to protest injustice in the U.S., especially the ongoing violence being committed by DHS and ICE.
In what was Trump’s first case against “antifa”, the administration used protestors at a noise demonstration outside of the Alvarado ICE detention center as an example of what can happen to any who dare disagree with the administration’s policies.
NLG Calls for More Support to Prairieland Defendants After Verdict, as Fight Is Far From Over
Last Friday was a devastating day for the friends, loved ones, and family of the Prairieland Defendants – & for those who care about the rights of free speech, free assembly, & resistance against fascism.
Last Friday's convictions are an indication to come from an administration that wants to crush dissent.

Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.
The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.

“In a statement on Saturday, Ms. De La Cruz said the family’s detention ‘breaks my heart.’”

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insists that 'we, of course, never target civilian targets,' but large-scale bombing raids often hit and kill civilians, including children. This is one reason that it is immoral, as well as illegal, to launch wars of aggression."
