In 2013, the Immigrant Defense Project (IDP) and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) joined together to create Defend Against ICE Raids and Community Arrests: A Toolkit to Prepare & Protect Our Communities, a new resource that is intended to help advocates defend immigrant rights by preparing them to fight against ICE raids during the Trump Administration.

The toolkit identifies the main deportation tactics used by the federal government to target people in their homes or communities, as well as strategies for immigrants to prepare for the obstacles ahead. Specifically, the toolkit covers “(1) who ICE targets for deportation, (2) where and how ICE located people in communities; and (3) ICE arrest tactics during raids.” A main focus of the report is on strategies for fighting back against the abusive practices of ICE like home raids. The report culminates with appendixes containing U.S. government documents regarding past raid strategies, along with specific examples of immigrants who have been the victims of these raids.
