We all need to start using the word "coup." They're well past the point where Hitler starts dictates his Enabling Act. I talk to Very Serious People who actually believe courts telling Trump that they he is breaking the law will stop this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

🔘 If you are detained or see someone getting detained, get the agent's name, number, and any other identifying information. Get it on video if possible. 🔘 Contact the ACLU or your local Immigrant/Migrant support orgs if you see someone's rights being violated. 15/15 (end)

⭐️ Bonus info- ⭐️ 🔘It is perfectly legal to record immigration agents as long as you are not on government property or at a port of entry. If your train/bus gets boarded, pull your phone out and start videotaping immediately. 14/n

🔘 White citizens, you have a level of privilege which protects us from retaliation from ICE for being "rude" and making a scene, which makes it our DUTY to speak up and make sure people without the same privilege know their rights. 12/n

🔘 Silence alone meets neither of these standards. Nor does race or ethnicity alone suffice for either probable cause or reasonable suspicion 11/n

If an agent detains you, you can ask for their basis for reasonable suspicion, and they should tell you. 🔘 Always say no to a search and let everyone know that they can and should refuse consent to a search. 9/n

There have been numerous reports that confronting the agents in this way has caused them to leave without verifying citizenship. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES. 🙌 🔘 If you see anyone being held up by immigration, loudly ask if they are being detained and if they are free to go. 7/n

🔘 If you are on a train, bus, or anything else and ICE or CBP boards, you need to stand up and loudly let everyone know that they have the right to remain silent or only answer questions in the presence of an attorney, no matter their citizenship or immigration status. 6/n

🔘 The most important acts of resistance are the small ones. Make it difficult and uncomfortable for ICE agents to do their jobs. They are counting on citizens to turn a blind eye and allow them to deport undocumented citizens without challenge. Disabuse of that notion. 5/n

🔘 You always have the right to remain silent. You do not need to answer their questions. 🔘 WITH THAT SAID, IF YOU ARE A BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU NEED TO SPEAK THE FUCK UP. 4/n

🔘 Border patrol can only ask brief questions about citizenship, and they cannot hold you for an extended time without cause. 3/n

Here's the deal: 🔘 Border Patrol can verify citizenship within 100 miles of a border or "external boundary." This includes coastlines, so NYC, Philadelphia, and all of NJ are within the 100-mile zone. 2/n
