We have the right to record ICE agents, police, and other government officials at work in public. Read up on your rights and our tips to get ready for Saturday's No Kings protests. More info at aclu.org/kyr_record-
"KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: RECORDING FEDERAL AGENTS IN PUBLIC.
You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement, so long as you aren't trespassing or violating a lawful order.
If you're not under arrest, law enforcement needs a warrant to confiscate or search your device.
If you're arrested, officers still need a warrant to search your device's contents.
The government may never lawfully delete your photos or videos.
While the Constitution protects your right to record and helps you defend against unjustified retaliation or arrest, the exercise of this right can still carry risks. ACLU.""Tips for recording federal agents from ACLU organizers. Capture relevant details including agents’ names, badge numbers, documents, and any weapons they’re carrying. Capture context like the surrounding area. Record continuous video to capture the full sequence of events. Copy your photos or videos to other devices so they can’t be lost or deleted. Don’t delete the originals. Try to share your documentation with the impacted individual’s loved ones, their attorney, or local organizations working with impacted community members." Arrow pointing right."Tips to protect your digital privacy from ACLU legal experts. Turn off all biometric functions to unlock your phone, including fingerprint and face recognition. Ensure your phone has a strong password. Keep your phone in airplane mode when you don’t need to communicate with others. Turn off location services unless you’re actively using an app that needs access to your location. Communicate with others using secure, encrypted messaging apps."

President Trump has made one of his top priorities disenfranchising millions of eligible citizens ahead of the midterms — but we have a real chance to stop him. Tell your Senators to protect our freedom to vote by rejecting the SAVE America Act.

NEWS: Judge rules Russ Vought's plan to defund and shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law. We're honored to represent former Federal Reserve officials in support of this case.
The purpose of this Order is to ensure the CFPB operates as Congress intended— fully funded and able to ensure that consumers have access to “fair, transparent, and competitive” markets for consumer financial products; not subject to ever-changing Director fiat.

BREAKING: we’re taking action to prevent the DOJ from obtaining New Jersey voters’ personal data. The DOJ’s demand for NJ’s unredacted voter rolls is a dangerous attempt by the Trump administration to disenfranchise voters, especially within our most vulnerable communities. We'll see you in court.
