If you encounter an ICE agent and are a US citizen resist and do not comply with any of their requests.

Do not give them your name, Do not provide them your ID,
Do not speak to them in English.

Make them work for it, the more time they spend on you the less time they spend rounding up people.

“Despite possessing Certificates of Indian Blood (CIBs) and state-issued IDs, several individuals have been detained or questioned by ICE agents who do not recognize these documents as valid proof of citizenship,”

They do not recognize the documents. That statement is chilling.

Pro tip for the "boss babes":

Don't insult or belittle your potential client base. Most of us who haven't signed up aren't weak or scared "to better" ourselves, we're smart enough to understand MLMs.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
