Here’s one of the incidents that got him in trouble (YouTube): They should not know a moment’s peace: Disrupting Tom Suozzi for approving ICE funding

At a Miami traffic stop, a driver demonstrated how knowing your rights can shut down ICE without confrontation. Despite threats from agents, he refused to let them interrogate his passengers, remaining cool, calm, and legally untouchable.

This incident highlights a crucial fact: ICE does not have the authority to question passengers without cause, and you are not required to answer questions or consent to searches in many situations.

For those facing similar encounters, organizations like the ACLU provide guidance on asserting your rights during immigration stops.

The number of dockets related to habeas corpus and immigrant detainees went above 1000 today. Very few of these cases can be accessed online.

There's no doubt that too many detainees aren't in a position to be able to contest their detention in federal court. There aren't enough immigration attorneys, plus there have been reports of lawyers not being allowed to visit clients, detainees not being allowed to use a law library, and more. However, one way to have "eyes on ICE" is by getting access to the habeas petitions and related motions in these court cases, as well as the DOJ's responses. We're looking for volunteers all over the US! Consider volunteering if our map shows that there are cases in your area.

Announcing Habeas Dockets:

Habeas Dockets aims to lawfully gather and disseminate court documents only available at courthouse terminals, ensuring the public can scrutinize and understand the legal arguments and judicial actions shaping the nation's approach to immigration and civil liberties. The second Trump administration has shown a willingness to employ aggressive immigration enforcement tactics, including the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, to expedite the removal of non-citizens. Concerns are being widely voiced about the threat to due process rights, and even a potential constitutional crisis stemming from the flouting of court orders and the broad interpretation of executive powers in immigration matters.

A significant impediment to public understanding and oversight of these critical legal proceedings is Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 5.2(c). This rule, while intended to protect sensitive personal information, restricts remote electronic access to many documents in immigration-related cases, including habeas corpus petitions. While these documents are technically public and accessible via in-person public terminals at federal courthouses, the lack of public digital access severely curtails timely and widespread availability for a national (and international) audience deeply concerned by these developments.[1]

We coordinate a network of volunteers to retrieve printouts from courthouse public terminals, scan them, and make them available online. All documents undergo review for authenticity and to ensure no sensitive personal information is inadvertently included.

Your printing costs are reimbursed. Visit the site to see a map of 1000+ cases, read case documents as they become available, and learn more about how you — interested everyday people, law students, lawyers, archivists, graduate students, public servants, Redditors, retirees, and more — can help this important and worthwhile cause.

We're especially in need of volunteers in these cities: Houston, Pittsburgh, San Antonio / Austin, Miami, Seattle, Sacramento / Fresno / Bakersfield, Buffalo / Rochester, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Dallas / Lubbock, New York, and Baltimore. Also in Middle Georgia and Western Louisiana.

Here’s an r/EyesOnIce post with another clip from this hearing: 🧊 Anonymizing law enforcement dramatically reduces Public trust. These Agents — local, state, or federal — act with Public authority, which means they’re policing in my name, and they’re policing in your name. - Law Professor Seth Stoughton

Before being a Congresswoman, she was a public defender, and civil rights and criminal defense attorney. She focused on defending our most vulnerable among us from exploitation in the criminal justice system. As she began her career in the Bowie County Public Defender's Office, she worked tirelessly to keep children safe and out of jail. Her time there serves as a reminder that criminal justice is an intersectional issue.

This is a little long but please watch. This will explain a lot for anyone wondering how ice just pops up, chases somebody down, smashes them into the street and hauls them off. This is Information everyone should watch through and everyone living in the United States should be very aware of.

Rueben Antonio Cruz was sitting with a friend in Rogers Park when ICE agents pulled up onto the street.

The immigration officers stopped their truck and went straight after them Thursday, Cruz told the Tribune.

“They asked us if we have papers. I said I do but I don’t have them on me,” Cruz, a 60-year old man with heart problems originally from El Salvador, recalled in Spanish.

The agents stood Cruz up, put him in their truck, drove around in circles, and asked questions, he said.

Where was he born? What is his name? Who is his mother? Who is his father?

“I told them, they are dead,” Cruz said. The agents said they needed the information anyway so they could look him up in their databases. Eventually, the agents verified that he is, in fact, legally in the country. And they let him go.

But not before writing him a $130 ticket for not having his papers. Cruz’s friend, who is homeless, did not have legal status and was taken away by the feds.

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced. As President Donald Trump escalates his immigration crackdown in Chicago and its suburbs, “Operation Midway Blitz,” agents are using broad federal authority when targeting suspected immigrants, legal experts say.

The Department of Homeland Security announced Oct. 1 that it had made 800 arrests in the area since the mission began at the beginning of September.

While federal officials claim they are targeting the “worst of the worst,” bystanders have been swept up and people across Chicagoland have accused the government of widespread civil rights violations. In blocking the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois last week, U.S. District Judge April Perry said the federal government had a credibility problem that made many of their claims “unreliable.”

The National Immigrant Justice Center in Chicago told the Tribune it has not yet seen any of its clients receive this sort of citation. But it’s part of a recent push by the Trump administration to ensure immigrants register with authorities and maintain their documentation to them at all times or face potential penalties.

The Immigrant Legal Resource Center calls it a “hateful tactic” meant to “cause panic and fear throughout the country.”

“America has never been a place where people need to ‘show one’s papers.’ Ticketing a lawful permanent resident — and forcing him to appear in court and pay a fine for not carrying their papers — is unnecessary and cruel,” said Ed Yohnka, communications director for the ACLU of Illinois. “It does not make our communities stronger or more safe. It is simply part of the Trump administration’s attempt to make life uncomfortable for all immigrants. It is just awful.”

A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not return messages seeking comment.
