Extreme cold this week: limit time outside, dress in warm dry layers, cover exposed skin, and take warming breaks—frostbite can happen in minutes. Check on neighbors/older adults, and watch for frostbite/hypothermia symptoms. Seek care if severe.

Everyone has constitutional rights—regardless of status. If ICE comes to your door: keep it closed. Ask to see a judge-signed warrant with your name/address through a window or under the door. No judicial warrant = you can refuse entry.

Today (Fri. Jan. 23rd), labor & community groups call for a statewide economic pause to demand ICE out. City essential services continue. If participating: check on neighbors, volunteer/mutual aid, support local businesses, and demonstrate peacefully. Layer up in extreme cold!
