Note: The Obama administration started the New Year with a barrage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids at homes throughout the United States. Raids have been conducted in the early morning hours, waking some families up, and have led to the detention of whole families including young children.
According to the Washington Post, “Despite an uproar from liberal Democrats and Latino advocacy groups, administration officials said Friday that they intend to continue the raids, hoping to send a signal and prevent a repeat of the huge surge in illegal border crossings. Although the numbers dipped last spring, a new spike saw more than 10,000 children reach the border in October and November alone.
‘The enforcement strategy and priorities that the administration has articulated are not going to change,’ White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Friday. ‘Individuals who recently crossed the border are priorities for removal.’”
In the face of these raids, we are sharing this ‘Know Your Rights’ manual from Assata’s Syllabus.
