i am not an immigrant so theoretically not in any danger of being deported. ICE has been doing raids around my job site and i suspect we’ll be next. what can i do in the event they do come on site?

    Seconding @[email protected]. Additionally, if someone you know or is in the vincinity of is being detained immediately begin filming. Get there name, birthday, and a local contact. Find out what a local immigrants rights law firm is and send them all the relevant details. Publicizing arrests or sharing with your local Migra Watch group will help them notice trends and advocate for people. Having video of the arrest could help in court because procedural violations in the arrest can be used to grant stays of deportation or similar.

    Unless you have like 20-30 very coordinated people, dearrest is very unlikely to be successful. Right now, visibility and mutual support is the best thing we can offer to our friends, neighbors, and coworkers being targeted.
