Ah yes, the mind is boggled by immigrants and tourists who don’t want to get abused and thrown into a secret nightmare prison for weeks or months before eventually being whisked away to a country they didn’t come from in the first fucking place. What a mystery!

Amid reports of increased ICE activity, Hoosiers should be reminded of their rights when dealing with immigration officials. More information and resources can be found here: www.aclu-in.org/know-your-rights/im…
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: witnessing ice arrests
Stay calm and keep your distance. Give agents enough space that they can’t claim you’re interfering.
Record what’s happening. You generally have the right to film ICE agents working in public.
Do not physically interfere. Don’t touch agents, block them, or try to stop the arrest.
Don’t answer questions for the person being stopped. Let them decide what information, if any, they want to provide to ICE.
If ICE starts questioning you, ask: “Am I free to leave?” If they say yes, leave. If they say no, you can remain silent and ask for a lawyer.the right to dOCUMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING
Record continuously if you can. Capture what agents say and do, especially any use of force.
Get identifying details. Note agent names, badge numbers, agency, vehicles, and license plates.
Document the time and location. Include street signs, landmarks, or anything that shows exactly where the arrest happened.
Pay attention to any warrant. If agents show one, document it if you safely can. An ICE warrant is different than one signed by a judge.
Keep track of where they take the person. Note the vehicle, license plate, direction they leave, and anything that could help family or a lawyer locate them afterward.know your rights: what to do after the ice arrest
Keep the original recording. Don’t edit, crop, or delete anything that could detail what happened.
Write down what you saw. As soon as you can, note what agents said, what they did, and anything you may not have captured on video.
Share information with the person’s family or lawyer. Your footage and notes could provide important details for the family.
Share carefully. Information helps, but reconsider posting footage if it could put the person or their family at greater risk.
Report possible rights violations. Share what you documented with their lawyer or a trusted legal organization.if someone you love has been detained
Find their A-Number. It’s usually 9 digits and may be on a Green Card or paperwork from USCIS, ICE, or immigration court.
Search locator.ice.gov. Use their A-Number and country of birth. No A-Number? Search their exact name and country of birth.
If they don’t appear, try again later. They may still be processing or in another agency’s custody. You can also call 1-888-351-4024.
Get legal help. Indiana families can call NIJC’s Detention Project at 773-672-6599 for a legal screening and possible representation. The hotline is open every other Tuesday, 12-3 p.m. ET. Other resources include Indiana AID, Indiana Legal Services, and Mariposa Legal.

Key US science panels are being axed — and others are becoming less open
A Nature analysis shows that the Trump administration has terminated more than 100 advisory committees to science agencies — and reduced the transparency and independence of those that remain.
