Immigration
Holy Name Province has worked with the USCCB's Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC) to compile the following resources to assist local ministries in providing support to our immigrant brothers and sisters.
ACLU's "Know Your Rights" card (English) What to do if you're stopped by police, immigration agents or the FBI
ACLU's "Know Your Rights" card (Espanol) Qué debe hacer si la policía, agentes de inmigración o el FBI lo detienen
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detainee locator
Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC)
CLINIC's Mission Statement reads: To enhance and expand delivery of legal services to indigent and low-income immigrants principally through diocesan immigration programs and to meet the immigration needs identified by the Catholic Church in the United States.
CLINIC Enforcement Response Plan: A plan to help communities prepare and plan for immigration enforcement actions
CLINIC's State and Local Project: In 2007, CLINIC created a new project to support advocates working to address the growing number of anti-immigrant measures proposed and introduced at the state and local levels. After the collapse of comprehensive immigration reform in 2007, approximately 500 immigration related bills were introduced by state legislators. By 2008, the number of proposed immigration-related bills had tripled to 1,562. Nearly every state legislature had introduced a bill related to immigration. Through the project, CLINIC provides legal analysis, training, technical assistance, and support to advocates working to combat anti-immigrant legislation and ordinances, many of which are far reaching and penalize not only the undocumented, but their families, business owners, and others who interact with them.
