Know Your Rights: Here's How to Defend Immigrants Against the Most Common ICE Tactics and Unconstitutional Actions

Anadolu/Getty Images Knowing your rights, exercising your rights, and informing others about their rights is not a crime. It's a constitutional right. We are living at a moment when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders simply for educating people about their constitutional rights when approached by ICE agents. Sharing information is more critical than ever. Helping to defend our immigrant communities and neighbors is one clear action that we can all take right now. To that end, We Have Rights is an animated 'know your rights' short film series in eight languages, co-written by immigrant communities and immigration attorneys on how to defend against the most common ICE tactics and unconstitutional actions. Stay up-to-date with the politics team. Sign up for the Teen Vogue Take The We Have Rights film series was launched by Brooklyn Defender Services in 2018, during Trump's first term in office. Brooklyn Defender Services, where I long worked as a public defender, was one of the few offices in the country with dedicated funding to provide free legal representation to immigrants facing deportation. Unfortunately, there is no right to counsel for anyone in immigration proceedings yet recognized in the United States. Facing overwhelming numbers of cases, our office's immigration attorneys were struggling to find materials to hand out to people and families that they represented who faced the possibility of ICE detention and deportation. Everything that we found was full of legal jargon, hard to understand, and available in only one or two languages. So, in close partnership with those we represented, production and creative agencies Media Tank and Variant Strategies, and some big names including actors Jesse Williams and Kumail Nanjiani, and singer and activist Fiona Apple, we created our own. Since Trump's Inauguration, this series has already reached over 75 million new people on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X. The site, which includes information on Emergency Preparedness Plans and includes all films, is being visited between 10,000-20,000 times per day.

NRL club torched over 'embarrassing' response to historic Aussie Super Bowl triumph
South Sydney have been scorched by NRL fans after labelling Jordan Mailata the "first Rabbitoh" to win the Super Bowl. Mailata made some incredible Australian sporting history on Monday, becoming the first Aussie to play in a winning Super Bowl when the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. The 27-year-old played junior rugby league for the Canterbury Bulldogs and South Sydney Rabbitohs, but switched to American Football when he realised he wasn't going to make it as an NRL player. He had never even played American football until being drafted by the Eagles in 2018, but seven years later he's a Super Bowl champion. On Monday afternoon, the Rabbitohs' official Twitter account claimed Mailata as their own, labelling him the "first Aussie and first Rabbitoh to WIN a Super Bowl!!" But the post didn't go down well with fans considering Souths officials told Mailata in no uncertain terms that he wasn't really good enough for NRL. Mailata played Under-18s with the Bulldogs before representing Souths in Under-20s. He was offered a $5000 contract in 2018, which effectively signalled to him that he wasn't going to make it as an NRL player. Souths officials held concerns over his fitness and ability to play in long stints on the field, and suggested he try his hand at a sport that was more suited to his physical stature. He switched his focus to American Football, and last year signed a three-year, $105 million contract extension with the Eagles. Mailata has suggested he wouldn't be where he is today if not for Souths basically rejecting him, but the club is still copping it for their post on Monday. Many felt it was in poor taste considering they didn't want him, and the 'Run Home with Joel and Fletch' Twitter account even labelling it "brucing" - a term used to describe when someone "leverages off another person or event to really make it all about them." Some also pointed out that Souths' post was technically incorrect. While Mailata was the first Aussie to play in a winning Super Bowl, Jesse Williams was actually the first to win one in 2014 with the Seattle Seahwaks. Mailata went one better as Williams didn't actually play in the Super Bowl due to injury, but did get a ring nonetheless.

Sattler's father John is a Rabbitohs legend and played 197 games for the club. Scott Sattler has previously declared he's a Rabbitohs fans, but Panthers supporters were a little miffed to see him in the Souths jersey on Monday. Scott played 118 games for Penrith, as well as 48 for Gold Coast and 22 for the Wests Tigers. He's most famous for winning the 2003 premiership with the Panthers in which he pulled off an extraordinary try-saving tackle to deny Todd Byrne. @ScottSattler13 🤷♂️ — 91 03 21 22 23 24 PREMIERS 🐾🏆 (@SnoogThe) February 10, 2025 Jeeze after what he did for Penrith I'm surprised his dads club is the one that comes first — wb1234 (@wallybechara) February 10, 2025
