ICE Raids: Know Your Rights
Conozca Sus Derechos
Community Trainings
IDP strongly believes that lawyers should not have a monopoly on information. For this reason, we are committed to empowering community members through the development of accessible presentations and materials on the intersection of the criminal justice and immigration enforcement regimes.
While we do not conduct community trainings directly, IDP offers Train-the-Trainer Workshops to prepare advocates, organizers, and allies to give Know Your Rights presentations to clients and community members. You can access recordings and materials from our most recent workshop in December 2024 here.
