After the report Thursday of the raids, CAIR, which works to empower American Muslims, reissued an immigrant community advisory on Twitter that it had first put out in June in anticipation of the raids. The advisory includes a"Your Rights with Law Enforcement" booklet stating that migrants have the legal right to have a lawyer represent them, and do not have to let officials into their homes if they do not present a warrant.
"We want make sure that people feel empowered that they don't have to live in fear that they can stand up fort themselves and they know what their rights are, so if they're detained they know how to respond," Chaudry said. Chaudry admitted that the booklet wouldn't prevent people from being taken into ICE custody if they are apprehended, but that it"at least gives them information on what they have to share, what they don't have to share, how they should behave."
