This presentation slide is from a training session on “Practical Tips on Filming Immigration and Law Enforcement”, created in collaboration between WITNESS and the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC).
The slide introduces the topic of how to safely and ethically film immigration enforcement activities. It highlights that:
- Video alone is rarely enough to achieve justice, but can be powerful when used with other advocacy tools.
- Filming should be approached thoughtfully, keeping in mind safety, legal risks, and shifting policies.
- Not all situations are appropriate for filming, and ethical considerations must guide decisions to record.
The slide serves as a deeper conversation on responsible video documentation of immigration enforcement, emphasizing caution, relevance, and the importance of the current legal framework.
