Know Your Rights training has an impact! Listen to Trump’s head storm trooper for the border.

By Mike Killalea, NSD president

ICE continues its depressing and inhumane persecution of brown people, but we can help slow it down. It might seem an uphill struggle, but “Know Your Rights” training and implementation can hamper ICE raids, according to Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan. Holman said on CNN recently that Chicago raids had been made more difficult because of the pervasiveness of “Know Your Rights” training.

“For instance, Chicago, very well educated, they’ve been educated how to defy ICE, how to hide from ICE. I’ve seen many pamphlets . . . here’s how you escape ICE from arresting you, here’s what you need to do. They call it, ‘Know Your Rights.’ I call it, ‘How to escape arrest’,” the ever-clever Holman said.
