About 75% of immigrant farm workers did not show up for work this week in Bakersfield, California, as the threat of Trump’s immigration raids looms.

Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them.

Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.

If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door
You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights.
Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one).
If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door).
If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo
Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente.
Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias.
Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país.
Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos.
Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado.
Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta
No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos.
Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno).
Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta).
Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta.
Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio.
Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.

✅ Raise cost of prescription drugs
❌ Lower cost of groceries

Trump reverses Biden policies on drug pricing and Obamacare

The moves are likely to be inconsequential to many people in terms of what they pay in out-of-pocket health care costs.

This is going to cost lives

(CNN) — Amid a deluge of executive actions, the Trump administration has directed federal health agencies to pause external communications, such as regular scientific reports, updates to websites and health advisories, according to sources within the agencies.
The initial orders were delivered Tuesday to staff at agencies inside the US Department of Health and Human Services, including to officials at the US Food and Drug Administration, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the story.

Today is the anniversary of Roe v Wade. We have lost so much, and the Trump administration continues to move us backward by stripping away our rights and censoring information.

Whether you are pregnant, are considering pregnancy, or are avoiding pregnancy, please form a reproductive health plan.

Government website offering reproductive health information goes offline

The site was launched in 2022 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of a public awareness campaign.
