SPANISH-LANGUAGE ‘KNOW YOUR RIGHTS’ PRESENTATION: BALTIMORE

Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) has begun immigration raids to detain immigrant individuals and families from Central America who have been denied refugee status. It is imperative that immigrant women and families know and understand how to exercise their rights during interactions with immigration and law enforcement officials.

La migra (ICE) viene haciendo redadas para detener y deportar individuos y familias de Centroamérica que la corte ha denegado su petición de estatus de refugiado. El objetivo de estos talleres es para que nuestra comunidad inmigrante sepa sus derechos y como ejercitarlas cuando interactúa con agentes del ICE y autoridades policiales.

  International human rights law forbids sending people back to the country that they are fleeing when their lives are on the line. Black immigrants, including Haitians, have been discriminated against—and it’s costing lives. For months, thousands of Haitian asylum seekers and other Black migrants have been expelled from this country and denied their legal right to seek asylum. Black migrants deserve to be welcomed with dignity, not face an endless cycle of inhumane and violent treatment at the hands of our government.
