ICE RED CARDS
All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The Immigration Legal Resource Center’s Red Cards help people assert their rights and defend themselves in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home. At the Sentry, we want to acknowledge the injustice in our communities and arm immigrants against potential threats to their livelihoods. Learn more here.
