I was told in a Know Your Rights training to carry copies of documents, so they can't steal / burn the originals. Readers, whatever you're doing right now is what you would be doing during the rise of Nazi Germany... Be kind, be a good neighbor, don't talk to cops.

Photocopies or officially certified copies?

If things get worse we’ll need to wear body cams live-streaming to the cloud at all times to ensure our rights are upheld. Now that I think about it - not a bad product idea!

  Anecdotally I've seen a significant uptick in folks installing dash cams in their cars. There was a local incident where ICE drove erratically to make it look as though a legal observer initiated a crash. They then called and lied to the local police department. The activist was then released when he provided dash cam footage proving that they lied about the incident. https://lataco.com/oxnard-dash-cam-ice-crash https://lataco.com/oxnard-dash-cam-ice-crash

"Readers, whatever you're doing right now is what you would be doing during the rise of Nazi Germany..." That is true. If you're in the US and you're not in the signal chats or whatever that would alert you when ICE is working then you're not doing all the things that you could do to prevent this pronounced move towards fascism that will impact you personally and deeply. This is not activism as charity- people need to understand that we are still in a spot where we may be able to push back, and that should be understood as simple self-interest. Even if you're not in a place "under siege" they are working where you are living. Consider that if you're in some rural place or even a place where they feel "at home" your work is going to be more impactful by definition: - find your local immigrant's rights group that is watching out for ICE - get trained by them how to be a "responder" - slot in and help where you can.
