This video has gone viral showing immigration rights activist Bryan McCormack stopping an ICE arrest using 'Know Your Rights' training, and now he says that all undocumented immigrants should have the same training.
The immigration rights activist who shut down an attempted arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents says video of the incident shows how much of a role"knowing your rights" can play in determining how an encounter with ICE ends.
MacCormack was quick to determine, however, that the warrant of arrest presented was an administrative warrant from the immigration agency, which does not require compliance, as opposed to a judicial warrant signed by a judge, which does. However, MacCormack said that he and his passengers stood their ground, maintaining that they were not required to comply with ICE's warrant.
That is why, he said, the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement works with local community members to build awareness of their rights, especially when it comes to ICE's administrative warrants. MacCormack says they are"one of the most popular" tools that ICE uses"to get people to open their doors." "It wasn't just me exercising my rights. The community members remained silent, they didn't answer any questions ICE tried to ask them and they also recorded the incident."
