• Do not access resistance websites and material on government-issued equipment (i.e., desktops, laptops, tablets. etc.).
• Do not use government-issued phones to call/text resistance entities.
• Report all suspicious communications to your respective IT department.
• Do not open, read, or respond to vague, mass emails from OPM or other federal agencies not your own as they could be list-making efforts by the administration.
• Do not openly discuss resistance while on or near federal property to include contracted offices and government-owned vehicles.
• Find your Union’s collective bargaining agreement and read it; understand your rights as a federal employee.

• Do not consent to meet with your department’s officials without Union representation present.
• Do not share information in public forums such as plans to change tours of duty, intentions to apply for accommodations, etc. It’s likely people supportive of the administration are monitoring postings.
• Establish burner accounts and numbers if you intend to engage in resistance; make it as difficult as possible to find you.

• Fuck what the mainstream, corporate media is telling you about the federal workforce. While they’re busy regurgitating the same points through different talking heads, the administration is issuing bullshit orders at the same time or after hours. Strive to find alternate forms of news; they’re out there.
• Educate yourself on the issues facing the federal workforce and pass that knowledge on to those around especially those with opinions about federal workers being lazy and a drain on the nation.
• Let federal workers know you are on their side and support them. This is an extremely stressful time for everyone and the federal force is no exception.
• Find your Congressional representatives and call, write, email each one often about the impact of the administration on the federal workforce. One issue per correspondence is recommended.

• You don’t have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights.
• Ask what why are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one).
• If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge* and, if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door).
• If they don’t have a warrant signed by a judge*, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
• If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent.
• If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

An ICE administrative warrant (Form I-200, I-205) does not allow them to enter your home without consent.

• Ask i f you’re free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out.
• You have the right to refuse consent to a search.
• You have the right to remain silent. You don’t have to disclose your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you’re a citizen, or how you entered the county.
• If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. NEVER provide fake documents.
• If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer.
• You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you don’t interfere.

An ICE administrative warrant (Form I-200, I-205) does not allow them to enter your home without consent.

• Run away and waste their time pursing you to allow affected immigrants to escape.
• Yell LA MIGRA (La mee-grah) as loud you can and repeat, “WHY IS ICE HERE? WHY IS LA MIGRA HERE?”
• Use your white privilege to interfere with their operations by asking dumb questions, refusing to answer their questions, demanding they ID themselves, and, when they do, tell them its not real.

• If approached in public place:
  • Be polite & respectful. Remain calm.
  • Begin documenting the encounter as early as possible by video or audio recording.
  • Ask for verification of the Agent’s identity and request to see a badge.
  • If you are not able to make a video or audio recording, then as soon as possible after the encounter, record or write down as many details of the encounter you can recall. Try to remember dates, times, and names.
  • Report the encounter to the Tribe. If needed, the Tribe will assist you in contacting the ACLU or other resources.
• If at home:
  • Keep the door securely closed and respectfully ask for a warrant signed by a judge.
  • If a valid warrant is not presented, state, “I do not consent to your entry.”
• If you are detained or arrested:
  • Remain calm. Do not resist.
  • State that you are exercising your right to remain silent and request to speak to an attorney.
• If you are willing and able to use yourself as a decoy to distract ICE from pursuing others in your immediate area, use your American privilege to waste ICE’s time to give others the opportunity to escape. While the administration is reportedly looking for illegal immigrants, it’s shown that anyone who LOOKS illegal is subject to questioning and detainment. Use that to your advantage for the benefit of others; we’re in this together and we need to support one another.
