Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent out information about what to know and do in case you're confronted by police or immigration agents.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: IF CONFRONTED BY POLICE OR IMMIGRATION AGENTS

Steps to take in event of immigration raids:

Gather all your important documents
Let a trusted family members know where to find them
Talk with your family about what to do if you or someone in the family is detained by ICE
Give your child's school a list of trusted adults who can pick up your child if you are detained by ICE
Consult with an immigration attorney

What should you do if ICE comes to your door?

Don't open the door without a valid warrant signed by a judge
Remain silent! You have the right to not speak
Ensure everyone in the home remains calm and don't attempt to interfere with an ICE officer
Don't sign anything without speaking to an attorney
Call your attorney or seek legal help at (617) 988-0606

What happens if ICE comes to your work?

Don't provide false documents and don't carry them with you
Don't attempt to interfere with an ICE officer
Tell them you'd like to speak to your attorney and don't sign anything without speaking to one
Keep important numbers with you
If ICE detains you while at work and you have children at home, make sure you inform ICE

There's also a Spanish version, and both are available as PDF infographics. The phone number above is for a Massachusetts legal help line.

The National Butterfly Center on the Texas border (which carries out nationally important conservation and education work) is closing to the public indefinitely after attacks from right-wing conspiracy theorists. (The Center has been accused of helping in the sex-trafficking of migrants — the property is bounded on one side by the Rio Grande and fought against having Trump's Wall built through it.)

The Center had already announced a closure over last weekend, after staff at the center had been verbally abused and physically attacked and they were then notified of a right-wing rally taking place nearby that weekend.

The Center has committed to continuing to pay its staff — including those who are paid hourly — but clearly will not be receiving the usual revenues from visitors. They are therefore asking for donations.

You can read more about what's been happening in their two recent newsletters:

There are several bills in congress right now that affect US treatment of immigrants and refugees, and the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee service has a handy-dandy widget to email or call your Senators/Representative in support of fair and just treatment. LIRS is a Christian organization, but it's easy enough to delete the one line stating your religious affiliation if you wish.

First up, we have the US Citizenship Act of 2021, Biden’s immigration reform proposal. Among its many provisions, it provides DACA and TPS recipients with green cards, setting them on a path to citizenship, improves the family reunification process by reducing visa backlogs, and creates a pathway to earned citizenship for approximately 11 million immigrants in the country without legal status. If you would like to support the Citizenship Act, contact your elected officials.

Second is The Protection of Kids in Detention Act, or PROKID Act, which would provide a critical layer of oversight and ensure transparency, protection, and accountability for all immigrant children in any type of government custody. It would create a permanent Office of the Ombudsman within the Department of Human and Health Services to act as an advocate, subject-matter expert, and independent authority responsible for ensuring that the rights afforded to children by the Flores Settlement Agreement, the 2008 Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), and other relevant statutes are properly recognized, applied, and enforced. To support the PROKID Act, use this email widget to contact your elected officials.

Third, we have the The Guaranteed Refugee Admissions Ceiling Enhancement Act, or GRACE Act, would protect and restore the U.S. resettlement program by setting a minimum refugee admissions goal of 125,000 and increasing congressional oversight over the administration's operations of the resettlement program. To support the GRACE Act, use this email widget to contact your elected officials.

On a related note, if you would like to put pressure on your elected officials to move left, but don't know how, the website 5calls.org/ is an easy way to do it. They always have a list of issues at a national and state level, with information on the issue and a script to call with and a widget to get the right phone numbers for your elected officials.

ICE recently released new regulations requiring international students who take fully online courseloads come fall to leave the country or face deportation. This is transparently a two-birds/one-stone situation in which the Trump administration pressures schools into reopening unsafely and pursues its xenophobia. This all came out yesterday, but there are already things you can do. Safety and students and teachers and staff not dying is obviously the top priority, but there are workarounds that are possible.

1. Sign these various online petitions. Also sign on to this open letter from the Illinois Institute of Technology.

2. Send letters to your representatives. This can be done to your senators through ActionNetwork . As for your House members, it's particularly important that you contacted them if they sit on this subcommittee. Call them all too. You can find email and call scripts written by Cal and Wesleyan students here.

3. Pressure universities. Saying this as a perpetual student, here: you can't trust them and they don't care. Go bug them: UC system, Cal Poly (SLO), Cal Poly (Pomona), University of Washington, Baruch College.

4. Share this class-swap spreadsheet (created by Sumana Kaluvai) with undergraduate students in your lives. If you are an undergrad student, please consider adding yourself to the directory. If you're a teacher, a grad student, or in any other way affiliated with a university, make sure that your school is on this list (if it needs to be) and spread the sheet around your lists, classes, etc.

The Army Corps of Engineers, which is in charge of the border wall project, was halted this week by a peaceful protest of Kumeyaay tribal members near San Diego.

The wall promises ecological and humanitarian devastation, and furthermore, multiple tribal entities and bands of Indigenous people have had dynamite blasts and heavy equipment potentially touch or damage burial grounds and sacred sites. The tribe was not consulted about the use of explosives, and demands the Army Corp of Engineers stop construction and the city of San Diego enforce laws to protect sacred land and cultural resources. The TohonoOodham Nation, the Kumeyaay, are currently trying to stop the federal waiver of dozens of laws, including treaty laws, to expedite construction and permit the use of such construction techniques.

If you're in the neighborhood, the Kumeyaay Nation is rallying for support outside the SanDiegoCourthouse, 330 W. BROADWAY, SAN DIEGO, CA, today.

If not, call the Border Community Liason Agent, Daniel Rubio (619-938-8739), and demand that all construction is immediately halted and that the ACE seek Native onsite monitors, prepare soil tests in all areas under construction, and respect Kumeyaay Nation sovereignty on their own lands. This will have the double impact of delaying construction, perhaps indefinitely, and defending sacred indigenous sites.

At times, I've found Mr. Rubio's voicemail to be full, so you can call the ACE Civil Works division here (202-761-7690) and the Chief of Public Affairs here (202-761-4715).

It's been a rough week with elections in the UK where a Tory majority was elected. In the US, the House Judiciary Committee has leveled two articles of Impeachment against Trump. We'll see where it goes. Also, for those following along at home, the next budget deadline is Friday Dec 20 for keeping the government open.

In comm news, as you've probably seen

tanaqui is going to start up a sister comm for UK actions in the wake of the election and is looking for co-mods and name ideas.

The focus in the comm for the last couple of weeks has been on refugee and immigrant detentions and the appalling treatment and conditions in the camps. We have lots of ongoing actions -- see the links below.

Also, why not tell us in the comments what you've been doing? (Were you able to go to a MoveOn protest?) We can admire and applaud your efforts -- and maybe get inspired to get involved with your causes as well.

(And if you want a little light relief, I spent far too long the other evening giggling at the #revolutionarywarairports hashtag.)

MoveOn.org is holding protests around the US on July 2nd; locations can be found here and the number keeps increasing every time I check back. so if you don't see one in your area and aren't up to organizing one yourself, keep checking.

I'm copying a post by

rushthatspeaks about helping people in ICE detention camps; rushthatspeakss note that they're basically reposting something they found on Tumblr. (I was going to repost rather than linking, but I couldn't cope with reading the content, and link labels, closely. We do what we can, and I will stop trying to find the "right" phrasing for having limits.

gingicat asked in the comments of the weekly check in post "What can we do directly to help the children in the concentration camps?"

It's far from feeling satisfactory, but here is what I've found via this thread on Twitter which seems to be sourcing the NYT article on the camps: ‘There Is a Stench’: No Soap and Overcrowding in Detention Centers for Migrant Children

It boils down to
1. Call your Senators and Congresspeople to demand congressional hearings.
2. Financially support non-profits on the ground in Texas
