Standing Up: Your Rights with ICE and Law Enforcement!
Thursday, April 24th at 5 PM CST
Join SAAPRI and SAAJCO for an essential discussion on understanding your rights when interacting with law enforcement and immigration authorities. Whether facing a police stop, an ICE encounter, or another law enforcement interaction, knowing your rights can make all the difference. Legal experts will provide clear, actionable information to help you stay informed and prepared. This is the second session in our Engaged Communities Series, a year-long initiative focused on empowering our communities with knowledge and tools to advocate for their rights.
