Conoce Tus Derechos (Know Your Rights)

Due to President Trump's actions, there has been an increase of deportation of Illegal immigrants. Not only those coming from Mexico but from other Latin American countries, China, Asia, etc.

You may ask for an interpreter at any point if you need one. Puede pedir un interprete si necesita uno.

The following are your rights inside your home:

Do not open your door. No abres la puerta.

ICE cannot enter your home if they do not have a warrant signed by a judge. Without a warrant, they can only come in if you let them. If they say they have one, have them slip it under the door or show it on the window. If the agents force their way in do not resist, remain silent.

Si los agentes entran con fuerza, no resisten pero queden en silencio. Los officiales de ICE no pueden entrar a su hogar sin un orden de arresto firmado por un juez de la corte criminal. Si les dicen que tienen una orden de arresto, piden que se los ensenen por la ventana o que lo pasen debajo de la puerta.

You have the right to remain silent. Guarda silencio.

You MAY refuse to speak to ICE officials. You do NOT have to say anything to them if you choose not to. Have a family member contact your immigration lawyer as soon as possible.

Tienes el derecho de guardar siliencio. Tenga un miembro de su familia que se puede comunicar con su abogado de immigracion.

Do NOT sign. NO firmes

Do not sign anything the agents give you.

No firmen nada que les de los officials de immigraccion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
