Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

Sending ICE and federal agents to polling places is blatantly illegal, but that’s never stopped Trump before. Our new zine (illustrated by acclaimed comic book artist @gregpak.net) provides a pocket-sized guide on what to do if you see ICE at the polls: indivisible.org/wp-content/u...
WHAT IF YOU SEE ICE AT THE POLLS?
(Don't worry!
Read on for the plan!)

If you see ICE or
have any other trouble when you vote, call
866-OUR-VOTE
For help in other languages, go to 866ourvote.org.
• A real person will help you and get it on the record.
• Document everything on video, safely.
• Use the Hands Off Our Vote toolkit. We have a plan!
linktr.ee/wewillvote

If you're stopped by law enforcement...
• Prioritize staying safe. Remain calm, don't resist. Keep your hands visible.
• Document everything. Record on your phone or ask a bystander to do it.
• Get the agent's badge number, name, and their agency.
• If detained, ask for a lawyer, remain silent, and do not sign anything.
• To invoke your rights sayI want to remain silent" and "I want to speak with a lawyer."
• The Constitution protects your rights no matter your immigration status.
This is educational only, not legal advice. If you need legal advice, consult an attorney.
Our core principle is a commitment to nonviolent action. Work to de-escalate any confrontations with those who disagree, and act lawfully at all times.
