In December 2024, the Immigrant Defense Project (IDP), Surveillance Resistance Lab, and Make the Road New York hosted a Train-the-Trainer webinar focused on ICE surveillance and policing. The session provided in-depth information on how ICE operates and collects data, alongside essential Know Your Rights guidance for encounters with ICE at homes, on the street, and in cars. Designed for advocates, organizers, and allies, the training aimed to equip participants with the tools to effectively share critical rights information with clients and community members.
This updated guide by CLASP reflects the changes made to the safe spaces policy and provides resources and support to early childhood providers on how they can protect their facilities from immigration enforcement.
This guidance reflects information known at the time of writing. Much of the guidance reflects rights grounded in the United States Constitution, particularly the Fourth Amendment, that should remain relatively stable unless they are challenged in new litigation that reaches the United States Supreme Court.
Other guidance, however, reflects policies and practices at the federal, state, and local levels that are far more susceptible to sudden change. Accordingly, we intend to further update this guidance as enforcement practices and relevant laws, regulations, policies, and practices change
