Purpose of this guide
The purpose of this site is to help immigrant families and their allies understand their rights and to prepare for immigration emergencies that might happen. You will find resources and learn information and steps you can take to:
- Create a childcare plan so another adult has authority to take care of your children if you are unable to do so.
- Make a financial plan so another adult has authority to take care of your financial matters.
- Know your immigration rights if the government tries to arrest you related to immigration issues; if you are arrested and are detained; and if you are ordered to be deported.
- Learn about what schools can do to support students and families if there is immigration enforcement activity at school.
- Get information about what organizations might be able to help you if you want to talk to a lawyer about your family law or immigration questions.
