View this email in your browser Dear Carolina, Recently, the U.S. Supreme court ruled in the case of Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo that roving ICE patrols can continue to conduct immigration raids using racial profiling. All communities of color will be influenced by this decision, regardless of whether they are U.S. citizens or undocumented. Today, we are reaching out to offer suggestions to you and your loved ones on what to carry to protect ourselves in these times of indiscriminate ICE raids. Full guidance and recommendations are posted at AJSOCAL.org/immigration as part of our Know Your Rights resources. As each person’s immigration case is complex and nuanced, please know this is general guidance and not legal advice. The best course of protection and defense is prevention.   CLICK HERE TO READ IN FULL BELOW ARE JUST SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS. U.S Citizens  The law does not require U.S. Citizens to carry proof of their citizenship, however, some are choosing to carry on their persons proof of citizenship, which can include: U.S. Passport Book or Card, Copy of U.S. Passport Identification page, Copy of U.S. Naturalization Certificate, Copy of U.S. Birth Certificate.  We advise you NOT to take pictures of your proof of citizenship on your mobile device and show them to an ICE agent, as you may be giving them consent to search your phone. U.S. Legal Permanent Residents    The law requires all legal permanent residents over the age of 18 to carry their green cards on them at all times.    If your green card has expired and you’ve filed an I-90, keep a copy of your I-797 receipt notice with your expired card.  Undocumented   Do not carry a foreign passport, or any proof of foreign nationality on your person.  Carry a Red Card. This card, which along with remaining silent, can be presented to protect your constitutional rights. Download Red Cards in your language at ajsocal.org/immigration DACA Recipients  Keep an unexpired Employment Authorization Document (I-766 Work Permit) with you.  Keep with you a copy of your I-797 DACA (I-821D) Approval Notice. Ensure the approval date ranges are still current. If previously lawfully admitted, keep a printout of your I-94, which can be relevant for a possible future bond hearing.  Non-Immigrants  Many immigrants are lawfully present in America via limited term, Non-Immigrant Status. Common types of Non-Immigrant status are: Students (F-1), Business Visitors & Tourists (B-1, B-2), Victims of Crime (U), Treaty Traders & Investors (E-1, E-2), Specialty Occupation (H-1B), and Transfer Employees (L-1A, L-1B).   Please keep on you a printout of your I-94, which can prove your legal status in the U.S. It can be found and printed after entering information at:                     https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/search/recent-search Pending Green Card Cases (Asylum, VAWA, Adjustment of Status)  Make a copy of relevant I-797 Receipt notices proving pending cases and keep with you.    Immigration history can be complex.
