Know Your Rights Training: ICE, Privacy, & Protests

Learn more about protesting, observing, recording, ICE at your home, protecting your privacy, and more.

With ICE in Maine, it’s crucial that all Mainers know their rights.

Learn more about protesting, observing, recording, ICE at your home, protecting your privacy, and more.

On Jan. 21, we held a Know Your Rights training featuring experts from the ACLU of Maine, U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein, and former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance.

In this training, our panel discussed several topics:

  • Your rights are when ICE shows up at your home or business
  • What type of warrant is required for ICE to enter a private space
  • How to protect your data and privacy
  • Your right to protest
  • Your right to observe and record in public spaces

Watch a recording of the webinar, plus a Q&A session with our experts, below.
