Rhode Island City Council Approves 'Know Your Rights' Mailers for ICE Resistance Training

The Providence City Council has approved the distribution of 'Know Your Rights' mailers to Rhode Island residents, instructing them on how to interact with law enforcement in the event of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation, amid concerns raised during the Trump administration's policies. The move aims to empower residents to resist ICE operations by knowing their rights and staying informed about upcoming raids. The city council's decision follows a similar model used by cities such as New York City and Philadelphia, which have also distributed such mailers to residents. By doing so, Providence is becoming one of the first major US cities to take concrete action against the Trump administration's immigration policies.
