Trump Officials Plan Immigration Raids in Chicago Next Week

www.nytimes.com Trump’s Deportation Plan Could Start Next Week in Chicago

Details of planned immigration raids are unclear, but they would be the opening step in the president-elect’s goal of overseeing the largest deportation program in history.

The key thing here is that they're planning to detain anybody who happens to be in the vicinity but who can't prove citizenship on the spot.

Let's be honest. They'll detain anyone who looks like they can't prove citizenship on the spot in the vicinity. Absolutely despicable. What can we do to stop or at least impede this?
- At a bare minimum, if you get questioned about a neighbor or coworker, "I don't know" and "I can't recall" are your go-to's, no matter how benign the question may seem.
- A couple things:
  ICE operates under rules that say they're not supposed to detain people at church. So encourage people to spend raid day at church.
  Don't help out. Give the absolute minimum, don't provide information, and refuse to give access on the basis of an administrative warrant (one not signed by a judge)
- Smash up the busses used to transport them

Sure would be inconvenient if a dozens of citizens without IDs showed up to the locations...
