Well, thank you for inviting me.
Um, it's very concerning.
Um, we have been working with the immigrant community here in Chicago,
and with our colleague organizations to really monitor and be vigilant as to what's happening in the streets of Chicago.
About a month ago, Tom Holman said Chicago is ground zero.
So we have been preparing for this and we have been advising people of their rights.
Immigrants have rights under the US Constitution.
They should be free under the Fourth Amendment from searches, unreasonable searches and seizures.
So individuals who get a knock on their door do not have to open that door unless they are shown through the window or slipped under the door a signed judicial warrant, signed by a judge.
That is really critical.
And if they don't have a signed judicial warrant, they have no right to enter their home.
And the same with the workplace.
So people need to know their rights and be aware that they should not open the door.
They should not let people into their office space unless there's a signed judicial warrant.
And that's for one person.
They can't just go ahead and arrest everyone on site or everyone in the Home Depot parking lot, because again,
we have succeeded in securing a settlement that says you have to have a warrant for that individual or probable cause for arresting that individual.
It just can't be a sweep of every individual.
Well, I do think I totally agree.
It's intimidating for me and I'm a lawyer and I know my rights.
