Excellent skit!
Here’s a flyer w/ your rights if ICE comes to your door, fr the ACLU website, which has flyers in many languages.

www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...
IF ICE AGENTS SHOW UP AT YOUR DOOR: 1) You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights. 2) Ask what day are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). 3) if they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant SIGNED BY A JUDGE and if so, ask see it (through a window or slipped under the door). 4) if they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. 5) if you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:
< Jaime Montana Cook is at Sackets Harbor Central School. 5h • Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

I've been to many many protests in Boston but have never seen as many people as #HandsOff2025

Vibe check.
Two women hold signs and a flag next to the Washington Monument, with people visible in the background. One sign reads “Protest is patriotic.” Another says, Refuseresistrevolt.” And a third has a large red dot with “Send Elon to Mars” superimposed over it.
