More Resources for Defense Against ICE Raids: The Stop ICE Toolkit

The New York-based Immigrant Defense Project is providing a "Stop ICE Toolkit," which the group says "offers social justice advocates, lawyers, and community members critical information and analysis of our country’s massive detention and deportation system, as well as straightforward guidance on how to prepare for the ICE raids."

Immigration Defense Project resources include:

• Definitive information on who ICE targets for deportation, priority locations for ICE activity, and common ICE arrest tactics and strategies.
• Recommendations for immigrants and advocates on emergency preparedness for those at risk of deportation, individual rights during ICE encounters, and potential legal and community challenges to ICE raids.
• Key takeaways from years of critical research and experience with the mechanics of the world’s largest detention and deportation apparatus — including an initial forecast of what we may see under a Trump administration.
• Select internal DHS/ICE enforcement memos and training documents secured through a pending FOIA litigation — as well as summaries of raids reported to IDP, organized by common ICE tactics and ruses.

Coming soon:

• An online interactive map of the raids reported to IDP in the New York City area.
• An online directory of FOIA documents from Immigrant Defense Project et al. v. ICE et al.
• A web-based version of the toolkit.
• Ongoing updates and more resources on emergency preparedness.
