It’s #STFUfriday!
When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:
- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.
- Am I free to leave?
- I am not answering any questions.
- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."
- I want to talk to a lawyer.
Below is a link to the leaked ICE memo claiming to give agents authority to enter homes without a warrant signed by a REAL judge.
I read it. It's garbage. But here we are. 🧵

Law enforcement cannot enter a private home without a judicial warrant based on probable cause. There are exceptions such as hot pursuit of a person for committing a felony and whose crime poses an actual danger to public safety. This ain't it.
The whistleblower memo attached to the ICE memo analyzes ICE’s assertions well. ICE is engaging in a fail-the-bar-exam level of ignorance.
Law and reality are always distinct. First keep yourself safe. Worry about suing people later. /2
