State Offers Tips to Communities Impacted by Federal Immigration Raids
California is offering support for communities experiencing federal immigration raids, sharing new “know your rights” resources. The Governor’s Office has released new fact sheets in English and Spanish that include tips on what to do if you witness an immigration arrest, how to recognize federal immigration agents, and answers to frequently answered questions. The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) supports a wide variety of services aimed at helping immigrants. California funds annual investments for nonprofits to provide free immigration legal services to immigrants across the state. Legal services include access to information and application assistance for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), naturalization, affirmative immigration remedies, removal defense, and services for immigrant youth. For more detailed program information, please visit the Program and Projects webpage. The CDSS also offers contact lists to access general legal assistance, assistance specific to detainees and non-detainees in removal proceedings, and services for immigrant youth and unaccompanied undocumented minors. Additionally, resources for refugees, Special Immigrant Visa holders, and other eligible populations can be found on the Refugee Programs Bureau webpage. The State’s CA.gov website provides more information for immigrant families, including details about access to public education, support for mental health, and information on how to report hate crimes and discrimination.
All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The ILRC’s Red Cards help people assert their rights and defend themselves in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home. Click Here for more information on how to get Red Cards.
