First Toolkit to Help Prepare Communities for ICE Raids in face of Trump’s Mass Deportation Plans
Immigrant Defense Project (IDP) and Center
for Constitutional Rights (CCR) announce the release of Defend Against ICE Raids and Community Arrests: A
Toolkit to Prepare and Protect Our Communities and an accompanying web
page compiling tools and efforts to uphold rights of immigrants in the
Trump era of racialized policing.
Based on years of community defense,
litigation, and research, including hundreds of accounts of ICE raids, our
joint #stopICEcold toolkit offers social justice advocates, lawyers, and
community members critical information on our country’s massive detention and
deportation system, as well as straightforward ideas on preparing for new waves
of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. Defend Against ICE Raids and Community Arrests is the first
comprehensive guide and organizing resource to help fight back against the
Trump administration’s stated efforts to criminalize and deport millions of
people.
What’s inside:
·
Definitive information on who ICE
targets for deportation, priority locations for ICE activity, and
common ICE arrest tactics and strategies.
·
Recommendations on emergency preparedness for those at risk
of deportation, individual rights during ICE encounters, and potential legal
and community challenges to ICE raids.
·
An initial forecast of what might happen under a Trump
administration based on years of monitoring the world’s largest detention
and deportation apparatus.
·
Select internal DHS/ICE enforcement memos and training
documents secured through a pending FOIA litigation -- as well as summaries
of raids reported.
Coming soon:
·
An online interactive map of the raids reported to IDP in the New
York City area.
·
An online directory of FOIA documents from Immigrant Defense
Project et al. v. ICE et al.
·
A web-based version of the toolkit.
·
Ongoing updates and more resources on emergency preparedness.
