In the face of unprecedented attacks from ICE and CBP, know your rights.


As protests continue across the country in the wake of ICE and Border Patrol's horrifying abuses, it's more important than ever to know your rights. Learn more about your rights to document police and federal agents and what to do if you're stopped while recording. <[link removed]>

ACLU Supporter, I'm coming to you from the ground here in Minnesota, where we're in our third week of widespread protests against the abuses perpetrated by ICE and Border Patrol.

Over the past several months, we've witnessed ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agents wreak havoc on our communities – and since the new year, these attacks have reached a fever pitch.

They've detained children. They've shot people in the streets. They've arrested reporters.

As the Trump administration ramps up federal deployments in our hometowns – and as thousands of us take to the streets in protest – there is a real likelihood that we will encounter federal agents and other law enforcement officials.

We are all too aware of how our constitutionally protected rights have been disregarded and violated in the past – but being aware of what the Constitution promises is a critical tool to protect yourself and others around you in moments like this.

That's why my team at the ACLU has been working year-round to train as many people as possible on our rights. Two weeks ago, I joined Minneapolis communities in 20-below-zero freezing temperatures to distribute thousands of Know Your Rights cards.

No matter where you are or how you're showing up, we want to make sure everyone is equipped to know their rights when attending a protest, recording federal agents, and protecting their digital privacy. Get the guide describing how to exercise your legal right to record and document police and federal agents performing their duties in public. <[link removed]>
