*New!* The All-in-One Guide to Defeating ICE Hold Requests
The National Immigration Project, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, the Immigrant Defense Project, the Washington Defenders Association, and the National Immigration Law Center have produced a new resource for organizers and advocates to prevent deportations in our communities: The All-in-One-Guide_to_Defeating_ICE_Hold_Requests. This Guide aims to help communities better understand how immigration enforcement works, and ways to to engage with local police and policymakers to pass laws and policies against hold requests. It includes organizing suggestions, details about ICE hold requests and how they work, legal and policy analyses, messaging advice, and sample materials.
Padilla Popular Education Materials
IDP, with support from The Opportunity Agenda, has produced Padilla popular education materials. The poster was designed by community activist and artist Favianna Rodriguez, and will be displayed in corrections facilities along with police precincts, criminal court clerks’ offices, and community based organizations. We also created brochures in English and Spanish explaining the Padilla decision and encouraging immigrants to talk to their criminal defense attorneys or IDP about possible immigration consequences from contact with the criminal justice system. Please contact Josh Epstein via email if you would like us to send you posters and brochures.
Deportation 101 Manual
Our highly-acclaimed manual offers basics on the detention and deportation system and provides guidance on how to organize communities directly impacted by deportation. Created by community organizers, legal experts, and advocates, this manual helps immigrant families, loved ones, and communities to understand and develop individual and community responses to this system – inside and outside the courts. We have used this curriculum to train thousands of advocates, service providers, and immigrant community leaders. Available in English and Spanish.
