Legal organizations that assist immigrants:
Unless ICE has a judicial warrant, you have the right to refuse a search
Whether you are a United States citizen or not, you have the following rights:
You have the right to remain silent.
If you wish to exercise that right, say so out loud.
ICE can use anything you say against you, so exercise your right to remain silent. Do not speak about your immigration status or why you are in the U.S. with anyone other than your attorney.
Do not sign anything! If you sign a document without first speaking with an attorney, you may be waiving an opportunity to remain in the U.S.
You have the right to refuse consent for searches of yourself, your vehicle, or your home by police or other law enforcement agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Say, "I do not consent to searches."
You have the right to speak to an attorney before you answer any questions from law enforcement.
Say, “I wish to remain silent until I speak to an attorney.”
If you are arrested by the police, you have the right to a government-appointed lawyer, and should ask for one immediately.
If you are detained by ICE, you have the right to hire a lawyer, but the government does not have to provide one for you. Ask for a list of free or low-cost alternatives.
If arrested by police, you have the right to a private phone call within a reasonable time of your arrest, and police may not listen to the call if it is made to a lawyer.
If you are detained by ICE, you have the right to call a lawyer or your family, and you have the right to be visited by a lawyer in detention. You have the right to have your attorney with you at any hearing before an immigration judge.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, you have the right to communicate with your home country’s consulate or to have an agent notify your consulate of your arrest.
Remember your immigration number (“A Number”) and share it with your family. This will help your family find you.
You have the right to a copy of all your immigration papers. Keep copies of all of your immigration documents with someone you trust.
Do not provide any false documents or information, as they may be used against you in a deportation proceeding.

Wise Words from Jennifer Walter
"As a sociologist, I need to tell you: Your overwhelm is the goal."
Set boundaries: Pick 2-3 key issues you deeply care about and focus your attention there. You can't track everything - that's by design. Impact comes from sustained focus, not scattered awareness.
Use aggregators & experts: Find trusted analysts who do the heavy lifting of synthesis. Look for those explaining patterns, not just events.
Remember: Feeling overwhelmed is the point. When you recognize this, you regain some power. Take breaks. Process. This is a marathon.
Practice going slow: Wait 48hrs before reacting to new policies. The urgent clouds the important. Initial reporting often misses context
Build community: Share the cognitive load. Different people track different issues. Network intelligence beats individual overload. Remember: They want you scattered. Your focus is resistance.
