Know Your Rights and Pass Them Along to Others:

How to reduce risk to yourself

  • Stay calm. Don’t run, argue, resist, or obstruct the officer, even if you believe your rights are being violated. Keep your hands where police can see them.
  • Don’t lie about your status or provide false documents.

Your rights

If you’re over 18, carry your papers with you at all times. If you don’t have them, tell the officer that you want to remain silent, or that you want to consult a lawyer before answering any questions.Know Your Rights and Pass them Along:

You have the right to remain silent and do not have to discuss your immigration or citizenship status with police, immigration agents, or other officials. Anything you tell an officer can later be used against you in immigration court.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and an immigration agent requests your immigration papers, you must show them if you have them with you.

If an immigration agent asks if they can search you, you have the right to say no. Agents do not have the right to search you or your belongings without your consent or probable cause.

SHARE WIDELY.KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important – for both citizens and non-citizens – to know your rights.You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Exclusive: Trump starts new term with 47% approval; Jan. 6 pardons unpopular, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

  • Summary
  • Poll shows 58% oppose pardons for Jan. 6, 2021, protesters
  • Trump’s initial approval higher than during most of first term
  • Immigration remains a top priority for Americans

WASHINGTON, Jan 21 (Reuters) – Some 47% of Americans approved of Donald Trump’s presidency as he returned to the White House this week, a sign of a polarized nation following the Republican’s victory in November, a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Tuesday found.

The survey, conducted on Monday and Tuesday following President Trump’s inauguration, showed his popularity higher than it was throughout most of his 2017-2021 term.

But the poll also showed that Americans were already sour on some of his first moves. Some 58% of respondents said that Trump should not pardon all people convicted of crimes during the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Making a ridiculous post about tariffs on Truth Social was his secret plan to end the war in 24 hours? What a ridiculous clown show. Idiocracy.
