Dear John,
At a moment marked by uncertainty, heightened immigration enforcement activity, and widespread misinformation, many in our communities are asking the same question: What are my rights, and how do I protect myself and my family?
Today, MPAC’s First Amendment Center is proud to share When ICE Shows Up: A Community Safety Guide — a clear, practical resource designed to help American Muslims and our allies understand their constitutional rights and navigate encounters with immigration enforcement with calm, dignity, and confidence.
This guide explains what your rights are, what you can say, what you can refuse, and how to prepare responsibly at home and in public. It is not meant to alarm or intimidate. It exists to empower communities with accurate information, reduce fear-driven responses, and reinforce that constitutional protections apply to everyone, regardless of immigration status.
