i really really hate how many people on the left are responding to good advice on dealing with ICE with "so they don't abide by the law anyway"
ignore people who tell you not to take basic safety precautions like knowing your rights.
those people aren't your friends
For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law:
1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.
May 13, 2025 03:48You don't have to make life easier for them, invoking your rights isn't obstruction. You can't smash gear, but you can throw sand in it.
It's also that some people don't fully acknowledge that *laws do not enforce themselves*. Humans do, and they can and will have biases. You can be the most law-abiding socially conscious morally righteous citizen to have ever walked the face of Earth, it's not gonna save you from a social police
ICE has stopped trying to arrest people at their homes because people keep their doors shut and tell them to go pound sand if they don't have a judicial warrant. Knowing your rights definitely makes a difference.
Honest question ‘cause I’m trying to figure out who I actually have to worry about here: does anyone who’s not white NOT already know this?
(Please note this is *not* the same question as “do any white people already know this”. That is not the question I’m asking.)

Makes them feel like rebels to... *checks notes* do anything that increases their chances of not being detained or arrested???
