Information on Red Cards / Tarjetas Rojas
"All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The ILRC’s Red Cards help people assert their rights and defend themselves in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home." - Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), "Red Cards / Tarjetas Rojas"
The University of Connecticut strives to perpetuate an environment in which all students have the necessary resources and opportunities to be successful academically, socially, and professionally regardless of their citizenship status. Our mission is to ensure that undocumented individuals have the support and reassurance of being able to pursue their goals of higher education; from the admissions process to navigating through campus.

This workshop, facilitated by Junta for Progressive Action in collaboration with the New Haven Immigrants Coalition, will provide critical information on legal rights of immigrants when interacting with law enforcement and ICE. Participants will learn how to assert their rights in various situations, including at home, at work, and in public spaces. The session will also cover steps to take if detained, the importance of a Family Preparedness Plan, and available community resources for legal support. This workshop aims to empower individuals with the knowledge needed to protect themselves and their communities.
