Immigration nonprofits are printing “know your rights” cards by the millions to help undocumented people exercise protections granted to them under the Constitution. Since the election, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center has received orders for about 9 million cards, more than in the previous 17 years combined. “You show agents the card,” Eliseo, who has been in the United States for decades, told the New York Times on the condition his full name not be used. “It does the talking.” Others say the cards allow people to evade the law. “They call it ‘Know Your Rights,’” the president’s so-called border czar, Thomas D. Homan, said last month on CNN. “I call it, ‘How to escape arrest.’” (New York Times)
