11. I am a University employee. If I become aware that ICE plans to raid my classroom, workspace, or another University building or residence, should I warn my non-U.S. citizen students or colleagues so that they can hide or leave campus?

No. Doing so may put you and the University at legal risk. Instead, please
contact OGC and DPS immediately to alert them to the situation. — 11. I am a University employee.

Recording in public spaces is generally permissible and protected by the First
Amendment; however, there are potential risks associated with doing so. These risks include that (a) ICE officials may construe the recording as interference with
immigration enforcement efforts, which is illegal (New Jersey recognizes the right to record police activity as a matter of state policy, but this policy does not extend to federal officers); (b) reaching into a pocket or bag for a cell phone or other recording device could be misinterpreted and escalate a situation; and (c) recording may capture the image of bystanders who do not want to be recorded. Posting a recording online could pose additional risks; for example, the government has threatened legal action against individuals who posted the photos, names, and addresses of ICE agents. Individuals should consider these risks before deciding whether to record a particular interaction. — 15. I am a student or University employee.

This is a map of the United States that says who America is cheering for in the Super Bowl there's a little green spot that says Seahawks there's a little red spot that says Patriots. 99% of the map is blue, meaning the majority of the country is cheering fuck ice in the Super Bowl.

The Constitution's supremacy clause bars local interference with federal officers when they act reasonably, within the scope of their duties.

But when agents cross that line, experts said, there's an obligation to try to hold them accountable.

“You’re Not Going to Investigate a Federal Officer”

It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable when they violate the Constitution and the law.

THE NEW YORKER
To put them in perspective, I think of
being on an airplane. The flight
attendant comes down the aisle with her
food cart and, eventually, parks it beside
my seat. “Can I interest you in the
chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer
the platter of shit with bits of broken
glass in it?”

To be undecided in this electionis to
pause for a moment and then ask how
the chicken is cooked.

Highly suspect indeed: “The president’s judgment on what constitutes an ‘honest’ election is highly suspect, as he has repeatedly peddled falsehoods and debunked conspiracy theories about the results of recent elections.”

"Trump’s GOP Makeover is Almost Complete."
https://www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/trumps-gop-makeover-is-almost-complete

PS: One problem is that too few #Republicans in Congress have the courage to break with #Trump even when they despise him in private. But behind that lies a structural problem. Those who do break with Trump leave office.

#USPol #USPolitics

Graphic showing steady decline in the number of Republicans in Congress who have broken with Trump on a major vote.

Trump’s GOP Makeover is Almost Complete

Republican Trump critics are Washington’s most endangered species. They’ll soon be even rarer.
