Join ACS for a timely Know Your Rights presentation led by Harrison Redmond from the ACLU. This event is designed to equip students with practical information about constitutional rights during encounters with ICE, whether in everyday community settings or while participating in public demonstrations. The presentation will cover key legal protections, how to safely exercise your rights during protests, and what individuals with undocumented family members or community members should know when interacting with immigration authorities. Students will also learn strategies for documenting encounters, understanding the limits of government authority, and supporting vulnerable communities while staying within the bounds of the law.
