Supporting immigrants in the legal system to avoid deportation

Community Partners

Families for Freedom members give input on a draft of the interactive graphic.

Getting
arrested can have serious consequences for immigrants who are not citizens in
the United States. Even a minor crime or dismissed case could lead to
deportation. But many people without US citizenship, their families, and even
the lawyers representing them, don’t know about the potential immigration
consequences of their cases. An uninformed decision can be the difference
between going home or being deported.
The
Immigrant Defense Project (IDP) collaborated with CUP, designer Petra Farinha,
and illustrator Lau Giraudo, to produce this interactive graphic to help
immigrants without US citizenship, their families, and lawyers to navigate the
legal system and avoid deportation. A digital choose-your-own adventure in English and Spanish, Don’t Get Iced shows what can happen to
people without US citizenship who have been arrested. The site also provides
information for lawyers to learn how to better advise their clients.

Designed for immigrants without US citizenship, their families and lawyers.
