Trump Border Czar Rages About Chicago Migrants Being Too 'Educated' About Rights in ICE Round-Ups in

Homan, who previously led ICE as its acting director, has made the rounds on media while the president’s effort to round up undocumented immigrants and deport them en masse got underway in major cities such as Chicago and New York since the weekend.

In a Monday appearance on CNN, he complained that “sanctuary cities are making it very difficult to arrest the criminals.”

“For instance, Chicago—very well-educated,“ Homan continued. ”They‘ve been educated on how to how to defy ICE, how to hide from ICE. I‘ve seen many pamphlets from many NGOs: ’Here‘s how you escape ICE from arresting you. Here‘s what you need to do.’"

“They call it ‘Know Your Rights.’ I call it ‘how to escape arrest,’” Homan added.

The "Know Your Rights Campaign" was started by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.

May all the sanctuary cities stand together to obstruct this injustice, and may all the Dem governors stand shoulder to shoulder in blocking this madness.

Bad 'cess to Orange Caligula the Corpulent, bad 'cess to his henchmen, enablers, and allies!

But you can refuse to aid or coordinate with them. And you can provide resources and education for your citizens.

We have an active resistance. I drove by local home depot where there are usually Hispanic men looking for jobs. I actually hired a couple of them in my moving job and the number of men were minimal maybe 5 where there were usually 20-30 out there.

just to get them off the street. Surely you have a bunch of physical tasks out of site that you've been putting off forever?
Or know aomeone else who would have been glad to take them off your hands?
At least I hope I have put some ideas into someone's mind to
organize a way to employ them before ice gets them!

Lot's of very good info there in the PDFs at that link, but many of the resources listed in them are Illinois-specific. A list of other similar state-specific PDFs would be very helpful. I am thinking of printing some out to distribute directly and via my local library.

A couple of us went to a printer and ordered 2,000 immigrant rights "red cards." We expect to have them ready to hand out on Friday. We will leave them at food banks, churches that have Spanish masses, taquerias, etc. The ILRC (Immigrant Legal Resource Center) has a page with links to printable red cards in multiple languages. Link here: https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas#:~:text=Red%20Cards%20%2F%20Tarjetas%20Rojas. We went to a commercial printer to get cards printed in English on one side and Spanish on the other. Our immigrant communities have the misfortune to live in a small red county (population 160,000) with two ICE facilities (one ERO) and a sheriff's department with a signed 278(g) memorandum.

When they've previously raided poultry and meat packing plants (La Plata MO anyone?). Shows they are lying with the "violent criminal" shit.
