Tool

The Trump-Vance administration has sent federal agents to conduct militarized operations for the stated purpose of immigration enforcement in cities across America. These operations have taken the form of deployments of federal agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as well as from other federal agencies. From Los Angeles to Chicago to the Twin Cities, these agents have used violent and at times unlawful tactics that are harming our community members, terrorizing communities of color, and suppressing lawful First Amendment activity of protesters, observers, and journalists.

This litigation toolkit is a practical legal resource designed to help advocates, lawyers, community organizations, and city leaders respond to the Trump-Vance administration’s militarized immigration enforcement operations.
