“Abolish ICE!”—this chant has echoed across American streets during Donald Trump’s second term. But how many of us understand what ICE is—or the authority its agents have been granted, including the use of deadly force against U.S. citizens? And when that line is crossed, who can hold federal agents accountable?

As fear and outrage grow, so does a pressing question: what can Americans actually do to protect ourselves, our families, our immigrant neighbors and our country from law enforcement agencies that have gone rogue?

Former U.S. Border Patrol agent Jenn Budd knows this system from the inside. After leaving the force, she became an outspoken immigrant rights activist. In this concise eBook—packed with links to eye-opening articles and videos—she exposes what’s happening within DHS agencies and reveals how ordinary people can push back against the abuses unfolding right now.
