#immigrations rights

[formulapookie]

ok so Trump wants what? To ban immigration all together? All the appointments set for Political Asylum Request have been cancelled and there's no intention of giving immigrants waiting on the border any mean to cross it legally.

This is PREVENTING LEGAL IMMIGRATION, what does Trump think? That the soldiers and border patrols won't get bribed? And let someone in? Or does he perfectly know this so he's gonna use people coming into the US illegally as "proof" of them having (in his opinion) no right to be there.

He increased border controls, he wants to DEPORT people back into the countries they came from for the most various reasons, he wants to eliminate the right (written in the Constitution, 14th amendment, sec 1) of every person born/naturalized in the US to be a US citizen.

And if people ask me "Oh but you're Italian, living in Italy, how does that affect you?" Ok so first of all this is called worrying out of COMMON SENSE cause fucking hell it's absurd to even think this. Secondly US are a MAJOR example for the whole world, as I already said, and given MY country is currently ruled by a fascist party with a fascist leader, who enjoys giving out the citizenship to criminals like Milei and has direct contacts with Trump, sorry but I am fucking scared because what if we're next? You'd be shocked to know how many people here would vote for that excuse of a man.

And once again, I worry and talk about it because one cannot possibly think their country for as far as it can be from the US is excluded from what's happening or is not affected by it somehow.

If ICE Shows Up at Your Door, Know Your Rights!

Do NOT open the door. ICE does not have the right to enter your home without a valid warrant signed by a judge.

Remain calm. Don’t run and most importantly do not lie about your name, age, immigration status, etc. Anything you say or do can be used against you.

Do not sign anything. Ask to have documents translated. If you do not speak English ask for an interpreter. Have an attorney look over any documents that ICE gives you.

Make a family plan. If you have children, identify a caretaker.

Record. If you witness someone being detained by ICE, you have the right to record as long as you do not interfere with the arrest. Pictures, videos, and any information you can gather, can help verify an immigration raid and also help someone’s immigration case.

PLEASE SHARE! (I have attached the English and Spanish versions but MANY more languages are available at the attached link)

One way to support the undocumented community is by sharing resources, reminding individuals of their rights, and standing in solidarity with them. Here's one effective way to offer support: provide Know Your Rights cards to empower our communities.

You can print these cards for free! I am sharing a resource from the IRC, which can be downloaded and is available in multiple languages.

Let's work together to empower our communities!

Una forma de apoyar a la comunidad indocumentada es compartiendo recursos, recordándoles sus derechos y mostrándoles solidaridad. Aquí hay una manera efectiva de ofrecer apoyo: proporcionar tarjetas de "Conozca Sus Derechos" para empoderar a nuestras comunidades.

¡Estas tarjetas se pueden imprimir gratis! Estoy compartiendo un recurso de IRC, que se puede descargar y está disponible en varios idiomas.

¡Trabajemos juntos para empoderar a nuestras comunidades!

As Palestinians in Gaza seeking to escape the Israel-Hamas war begin applying to come here through a special immigration program, immigration lawyers say Ottawa is asking for an unprecedented level of personal information from prospective migrants. "It's strikingly different than what is ordinarily required for a visitor visa application," said immigration lawyer Pantea Jafari. "[The federal government] is asking for significantly more information than any of those applications, and even more than any permanent resident's application." This week, the federal government launched a new program to permit up to 1,000 Palestinians who are extended family members of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to apply to come to Canada and stay for three years if their families can support them financially.

I cannot put into words how much sadness and anger I feel for my U.S based followers and mutuals. It is disgusting beyond words that there are people in this world that prefer a sexual offender over a woman.

You belong to yourself and nobody else. Your sexuality belongs to yourself and nobody else. Your body belongs to yourself and nobody else. No matter what your government may say, never forget that YOU belong to YOURSELF.

I hope and pray that you all are able to find some sort of safe haven, whether it be getting out of that country or simply coming into Tumblr to express yourself. You are valid, you are seen, and you are heard. You are loved.

It doesn't support the socialist democrat narrative to point out who commits the lion's share of gun crimes.

ICE raids are happening.

Any immigrants, no matter how long you have been a citizen of the USA, is at risk of being deported either out of the country as a whole or into what are basically concentration camps. Raids starting in Chicago, Illinois. and spreading to other major cities with high POC and Hispanic populations. The US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) have started raiding homes and families in California.

There are no "protected locations" as of January 21, 2025. Hospitals, schools, and churches are all at risk of being raided, where before these places were deemed safe and off limits to raids.

When it comes to spotting an ICE agent, look for these:

Weirdly neat/well kept hair (shaved heads, side parts, military burs for men; low buns, high ponytails, close cropped bobs for women)

Oversized jacket (long and bulky outerwear makes it easier to hide tools/equipment without being suspicious)

Both hands in pockets

Many undercover agents/cops buy cheap plain clothes off the racks so they aren’t seen in their own clothes. This can make their outfit seem awkward

Sweatshirts with the hood up

Sports apparel (warm up jacket, sweats, etc) with non-sports clothes (jeans, cargo shorts)

Cargo pants/shorts (usually full of items like their badge, flashlight, taser, pepper spray, backup handcuffs, zip ties)

Military or hiking style boots, sometimes chunky sneakers (extra points if none of it matches anything in their outfit)

Outline of a gun in their pants/shirt (easy to see when bending, leaning, or raising arms) (NO NOT SAY ANYTHING)

Overly friendly

Overly inquisitive

“How old are you” and “what do you know about this happening” are both red flags, along with generally odd and personal questions

Don’t fit in

Mismatched pairs in public spaces (usually cops do these things in pairs. They don’t talk to each other or acknowledge each other much, if at all)

DO NOT SAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE 100% SURE

YOUR BEST BET IS NOT TO SAY ANYTHING UNTIL THE SUSPECT STARTS ACTING OFF AND GETTING PUSHY

COPS ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE UNDERCOVER

COPS CAN AND WILL LIE TO YOU

SCREAM “LA MIGRA” AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS

For protesting:

N95 masks

Respirator/gas mask if you have access to one

Water water water water water (I hate to say it, but disposable one use bottles are best here. If it comes to it, you need to be able to drop and run.) Use for flushing wounds, flushing eyes of tear gas, and of course drinking.

Snacks! You'll be doing a lot of walking and/or running and need to keep that energy up. Trail mix, dried fruit, nuts, granola bars, crackers, jerky/meat sticks, fruit snacks, candy, etc. Think of it like packing your lunchbox for a field trip.

Eyedrops (teargas is a bitch)

Goggles (I bring my old snowboarding goggles)

If you are wearing a t-shirt or have exposed skin, put on fake/temporary tattoos. If you are brought into something and they say you were there, showing a picture of you with the tattoos, show them where that tattoo would be and how there’s nothing there. How would you get rid of a giant flower on your forearm in 2 days anyways?

Hide your hair. I tuck my hair into my beanie since it’s short. If you have longer hair, try to do the same or tuck it into your shirt. Balaclavas are also a good choice, as they cover both your face and hair.

Power bank

Chargers

Helmet. Any is fine, my personal choice is a skating helmet since they’re rounder and can take more damage, but tactical is also good

Hand sanitizer

Gloves with hard knuckles (tactical gloves). These pack a good punch even if you don't have the correct form. Don't have those? Wrist guards for roller skating/skateboarding work kinda like that too. More of a slapping motion, but still hurt like a bitch. Extra points if they're all scuffed up from use and falls.

Bandanas. Somebody might need one for their face or hair, maybe you need to get dirt off somebody’s face, maybe somebody got injured. They’re great for anything and everything.

Cash (try to stick to cash, your card can be tracked)

Medications if you take them. If you get arrested or happen to somehow be away for longer than expected after the protest, it’s always good to have emergency meds

FIRST AID ALL THE FIRST AID (Tourniquet, Quikclot, chest seal, trauma shears, gauze, bandages, duct tape, and all the usual stuff you’d have in there)

Good shoes. Boots and sneakers are your best choices. Not heels, not platforms, not sandals. Good boots or shoes that won't come off your feet too easily when you run.

Spare socks. Trust me. You can use them to stop bleeding if it comes to it, but also you can put rocks in there and boom weapon. Also if the socks you're wearing get wet.

As much covering clothing as you can handle. Plain jeans, plain hoodie, plain t-shirt, keep yourself as anonymous as possible. Black is best.

Photocopy of your ID, not your real one.

Sunscreen!

Make sure your clothes have pockets, even if you have a bag. You want everything to be easily accessible.

Do not wear contact lenses. If tear gas is used, that will make everything so much worse. Wear your glasses or go blind. If you have overly unique or identifiable frames, goggles are your friend here. Get some goggles that will fit over your frames, preferably ones that are tinted.

If you use mobility aids, cover defining features. Logos, brand names, colors, stickers, all of it. Take some old plain t-shirt and tie it around your wheelchair’s backrest. Wrap your wheelchair frame in cling wrap, then duct tape, or plain black self adhering medical tape. Cover stickers on your cane or crutches the same way. Electric chair? You have a little more work, but you can do it. Wrap it up. Same idea. Walker? Same thing. Cover. It. All.

If you are bringing a bag, make sure that bag is as plain as possible. No pins. No patches. No keychains. Except maybe a pride flag so people know which team you're playing on.

Scarf or keffiyeh if you have one. They have many uses!

Write a reliable phone number (of someone who is not at the protest with you) on your body. On the off chance you get arrested, that is your emergency contact.

Pocket knife.

Pepper spray/mace

Anything you can throw. Soup for my family.

IF YOU CAN, LEAVE YOUR PHONE AT HOME

IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT WITH YOU, TURN OFF LOCATION SERVICES ON ALL APPS AND TURN OFF BIOMETRICS (FACE ID AND FINGERPRINT) SO YOU CAN ONLY UNLOCK YOUR PHONE WITH YOUR PASSWORD

COPS CAN FORCE YOU TO OPEN YOUR PHONE WITH YOUR FINGERPRINT OR FACE ID

MAKE SURE SOMEBODY KNOWS GENERALLY WHERE YOU ARE

If you see a potential or active raid, take pictures and note the time and location. Post online if you can, as well.

You have the right to remain silent. State that you wish to remain silent. Avoid giving information about anybody's immigration status. You have the right to refuse to sign anything before speaking to an attorney. You have the right to refuse searches of your car, your home, and yourself. Schools do not collect a child's immigration status.

I do not want to scare anybody, but this is what life is right now. That man does not care how long you have been a citizen of this country. If you are not a white, cisgender, heterosexual, Christian male, you are seen as less than by men in power. You are not less than. You are a threat to them, and they are scared. Keep it that way.

Here's the link to my post on what to bring in terms of first aid.

If you cannot attend protests, that’s fine. Do what’s best for you. Even just reposting information helps.

This is an updated version of this post,

[socialismscienceism]

A reminder to everyone, so we know exactly what's at stake here: the first camps in Germany opened in 1933, mere months after Hitler became Chancellor. He came to power legally, and the camps were established legally.

It is moral to oppose ICE raids. It is moral to inform immigrants of their rights. It is moral to protect your neighbor.

Resisting Mass Deportation: What Can You Do?

One of the scariest things we're facing under the next presidential administration is the threatened mass deportation of immigrants. For many of us, it's hard to imagine what we could possibly do to fight back against the disruption of our communities and our neighbors' lives.

Luckily, there are organizations and community groups that have been fighting back for years -- and winning -- and they're ready to teach us how to help.

Mijente, a digital organizing hub for the Latinx community, is running a series of trainings on zoom entitled Deportation Defense: Skill Up + Crew Up. The trainings will be December 10th, 13th and 16th from 7:30-9pm ET, and they are free! You can register here.

Make the Road New York, an immigrant rights advocacy organization, has put together a Deportation Defense Manual to provide information, resources and a guide to create a plan of action to protect targeted communities. (Some of the information is specific to New York, but much of it is applicable in every state.)

If you're interested in learning more about these kinds of resources and opportunities, please follow the soon-to-be-rebooted @fthaction. FTHAction is going to be dedicated to helping you get involved and take action in concrete, hands-on ways. We're not ready to spill the beans on all of our plans yet, but they include:

101-level resources about mutual aid, political organizing, and getting involved in community groups

guides and directories to help you find local organizations to work with

personal activism stories from other fans

regular updates about trainings, workshops and other opportunities to learn from and connect with seasoned organizers

Once FTHAction is up and running, we will mostly keep the two blogs separate (though we'll reblog the first few FTHA posts to this blog.) But if you already know you're going to be interested in @fthaction, now is a great time to follow!

Ok a few things because trust me I am aware about how awful everything feels

One.

If you know someone who is not legally here no you don’t. Do not mention them online even if it’s expressing concern. Again.

DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ONLINE ABT FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO MAY NOT BE HERE LEGALLY.

Two.

Know your rights if ICE comes to talk you. You have every right to not talk to them.

This is for my state so your rights may be different state to state so please do your research. If you know someone here non legally make sure to pass this information to them.

Three.

If you are an employer or employee here are your rights if ice comes to your school or workplace.

This man is a lawyer

Four.

Do not talk about someone or yourself getting an abortion if you are in states currently in danger of reproductive rights. Both irl and online.

Five.

Trust only close friends and family WHO HAVE EXPLICITLY GIVEN THEIR VIEWS with your reproductive health if you are in states currently under threat of reproductive rights being taken.

Six.

If you are in states with no protections for transgender people or youth. Do not mention being trans or knowing trans people.

Seven.

If you are going to a protest here are few things to note and bring.

Cover your face, tattoos, scars, and hair if it’s dyed abnormal colors.

Do not engage with police. They are not there to protect you they are they for arrests.

If someone is trying to rile up the crowd into looting or burning ignore them.

Bring a first aid kit.

Bring bottles of milk to help with pepper spray. (Correction do NOT USE MILK! Use water or saline solution and take out contacts!!!)

If you are white or cis advocate for your poc and visibly queer people. They will be targeted first during arrests.

Lastly say nothing if you are arrested. Request a lawyer immediately.

Always film if someone is being arrested you have a right to film. This goes for if someone is also being detained by ice.

Anyway please stay safe. We will make it.

I know Tiktok is getting a lot of coverage but don’t forget about Trumps plan to do mass deportations in Chicago and New york!

Gov. Abbott installed circular saws in the Rio Grande. Migrants have already been caught and died in these “river walls.” This is clearly meant to hurt and kill more. Blatant human rights violation if that wasn’t immediately clear
