The Trump administration has pledged to execute mass deportations, erode our essential civil rights and liberties, and separate immigrant families, most of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades.
In the face of these threats, countless people are learning their rights and helping their families and neighbors do the same. Arming yourself with trusted, vetted information is one of the best ways to prepare and fight back.
Every day, Asian Law Caucus attorneys and advocates work side by side with our clients and their loved ones to protect people’s rights and keep families together.
