MNYS IMMIGRATION RESOURCES
The atmosphere for immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees trying to rebuild their lives is filled with fear and distress. Following the Trump administration's recent executive order, many are left extremely vulnerable to the reality of deportation and detention, which rip apart the fabric of whole communities.
This challenging situation emphasizes the need to make plans to protect themselves, their families and seek legal help. Immigrants need community support and advocacy in the form of legal services, tools, training and education to keep their families together and provide hope during these difficult times.
