THIS IS AN
URGENT CALL FOR ALL
Texas’ hateful new immigration laws turn local law enforcement into “peace officers” + immigration officials and punish good samaritans. You or someone you care about could be at risk! Be aware. Be prepared.
Texas has officially signed into law two hateful and extreme new immigration regulations (Senate Bill 4). And that means – regardless of your immigration status – now is the time to know your rights and learn how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Because when racial profiling happens, your rights could save your life. And make no mistake, you do have rights.
Here’s what you need to know right now to keep your family safe and together
01.
Drive safe & smart
Keep your car street legal and obey traffic laws like your family’s future depends on it.
02.
Talk to your loved ones
Talk to your family about their immigration status. Safety trumps secrets and shame.
03.
Avoid false documents
When they ask about your immigration status, remember: you’re not legally required to answer.
04.
Be ready for more racial profiling
If you don’t know what to say, don’t say a word. You have rights, including the right to remain silent.
05.
Say nothing, sign nothing
