What to know about where ICE can operate There are limits on where immigration officials can operate, and constitutional protections remain in place.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS:

Remember you do NOT need to open the door if ICE doesn't have a warrant signed by a judge.

As ICE steps up immigration enforcement, it is more urgent for all of us – immigrants and citizens alike - to understand our rights. CASA's 'Know Your Rights' document (updated in Jan 2025) is a great resource. Here are some key takeaways.

Trump’s immigration orders designed to sow chaos – ‘he wants you to feel afraid’ Expert Austin Kocher explains why the ‘clown show’ of Trump orders will nonetheless fuel confusion and anxiety

If you’re hearing news of Trump’s executive orders, troops at the border & “mass deportations” & you feel hopeless, scared, demoralised & confused: that’s exactly what they’re trying to make you feel.

This interview w @austinkocher.com is what you need #r4today www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

JUST IN: ACLU/Make the Road NY suit filed in DC federal court challenges Trump administration's re-expansion of 'expedited removal,' which limits migrants ability to obtain asylum. #SCOTUS blessed the practice in 2020. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Helpful ICE Information from JB Pritzger of Chicago, IL. Please share!

Two things, both true:

1) 200 is not a wholly-unprecedented number of agents and this is likely to be the kind of operation that doesn’t round up people so much as scare them.

2) it still scares them and part of the point is to scare them.

Fight the hype with facts; know the hype causes harm.

This New Immigration Bill That’s About to Pass Is a Horrifying Trojan Horse If Democrats cannot recover their nerve and stand up to this extremism, they will be complicit in the devastating consequences of its passage.

The Ken Paxton Empowerment Act, aka the Laken Riley Act, “is a horrifying Trojan horse.”

“If Democrats cannot recover their nerve and stand up to this extremism, they will be complicit in the devastating consequences of its passage.”

We Have Rights

Brooklyn Defender Services, based on know your rights guides from Immigrant Defense Project, along with WITNESS and the ACLU just released this campaign on immigrants’ rights when facing ICE:

Despite Trump’s claim, deportations likely wouldn’t ease housing crisis, most experts say • Nevada Current The mass deportations of immigrants that President-elect Donald Trump has promised aren’t likely to make a dent in the nation’s housing crisis, many experts say, despite what he and his supporters cla...

"At best, immigration has an understated effect on the housing crisis. At worst, large-scale deportation plans could cripple an already strained construction labor industry."

And the music swelled into the Lost Elf theme at the end as he walks into the fade. It was just so much and I cried a lot.

I spent five years wondering how his story would end and I am so satisfied.

#datvspoilers
And I hope that one day he can lose his corruption and go from being a spirit of pride back to that spirit of wisdom that he once was.

Realized afterwards that its #datv spoilers. Everyone leave me alone. I've been playing this game for the last eight hours.

I might try the other two endings tomorrow after I've sat on this one just to see what happens. I need to sit on my feelings and thoughts about Solas and his atonement.

#DA:VGspoilers

And I don't think I could have asked for a better redeemed(ish) ending for him. Because Solas was never evil, in his mind he was the hero. He was doing something good. He was just too stubborn and trapped in his own tunnel vision to see what he was doing was wrong.

#DA:VGspoilers

The poetry in this decision was *chef's kiss* perfect. And I can't stop thinking about it.

Plus he said he was going to try to help the Titans, to atone for what was done to them, what he did to them.
