🙏🏽 PLEASE SHARE — IMMIGRANT FAMILY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS 🙏🏽
With everything happening right now, I want to help families be prepared, not scared. ❤️
If you or someone you love is an immigrant, please have an emergency plan ready in case someone is stopped or detained. Don’t wait until an emergency happens to figure out what your family needs.
Have a safe folder at home with:
• Copies of important immigration documents and IDs
• A-Number, if applicable
• Birth certificates and children’s information
• Emergency contacts
• Immigration attorney/legal-aid information
• School/daycare contacts and authorized pickup persons
• Medical and medication information
• A plan for who will care for the children
• A plan for rent, bills, vehicles, pets and other responsibilities
• Copies of documents showing how long you have lived in the U.S.
Know your rights. Stay calm, don’t run, don’t provide false information or documents, and don’t sign anything you don’t understand without speaking with a qualified attorney.
You can say: “I am exercising my right to remain silent. I want to speak with a lawyer.”
Please talk with your family now. Make sure your spouse, children or trusted person knows where the emergency folder is and who to contact.
I’m putting together information because I don’t want to see families caught completely unprepared. If this post helps even one family have a plan in place, it was worth sharing. 🙏🏽❤️
Please share this. Someone on your friends list may need it.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 🙏🏽
This is general preparedness information and not legal advice. For questions about an individual immigration case, speak with a qualified immigration attorney or accredited legal representative.
