On Saturday, just hours before ICE raids were set to begin, socialist presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders' campaign used their e-mail network to warn supporters.
"ICE raids targeting 10 cities start Sunday. Know your rights," the subject read. Appended to the e-mail were two graphics - one in English, the other Spanish - describing immigrant rights via guidance by the American Civil Liberties Union.
"It's not strictly on point when it comes to building out a presidential campaign for the purpose other than running for president," Ruthie Epstein, the ACLU deputy director of immigration policy, said.
The e-mail came from Sanders' Press Secretary Belén Sisa, an undocumented immigrant through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Multiple news outlets are reporting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning deportation raids against immigrant families in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, and San Francisco starting early Sunday morning.
Sanders has pivoted hard into this issue for his 2020 campaign, though he has deliberately stopped short of advocating for open borders.
"What we need is comprehensive immigration reform," Sanders said at a town hall in Iowa.
