ICE Out For Good

Know Your Rights Training: If ICE is at Your Door, Protecting Your Privacy, and Protesting Safely

Amid reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is escalating operations in Maine, it’s crucial that all Mainers know their rights. Join us for a live training to learn more about your rights – whether you’re protesting or concerned about ICE showing up at your door. In this training, you’ll be able to hear directly from legal experts at the ACLU of Maine, along with retired U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein and former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance. You can watch a recording of the webinar below.
