A booklet that explains to Spanish-speaking immigrants what happens if they're arrested by ICE and how to advocate for their rights in court.

The project team reviews early design directions.

Those at risk of ICE arrest and detention face an intentionally confusing and intimidating process. People arrested by ICE get very little information about what will happen to them, how long they might be detained, and what options they might have for release. Without adequate information about what can happen, people can unknowingly agree to be deported before they have a trial in immigration court.
CUP collaborated with the Immigrant Defense Project (IDP) and designer Melisa Tekin to create ¡El poder de prepararse! (The Power to Prepare!). This illustrated, Spanish-language booklet talks about what people can do to prepare for a potential arrest by ICEand what can happen during an arrest, in detention, and during their court trial. The booklet ends with an explanation of the different decisions the immigration court can make about a case. This booklet was created with input and feedback from people who have been arrested by ICE or identify as at-risk of arrest by ICE.
IDP plans to distribute the guide to immigrant communities throughout New York who are at high-risk of arrest and detention by ICE, and to legal services and advocacy organizations who work to protect and support New York’s immigrant community.
