ALERT: Attorneys, Advise Your Clients of Their Rights

Last Updated February 11, 2025  

The Trump administration has been targeting immigrant and LGBTQ communities through a slate of Executive Orders designed to erase transgender, non-binary and intersex identities, decimate asylum and refugee protections, and fast track mass deportations.

Our clients are understandably worried. We have received questions from our pro bono partners on how to advise and best protect their clients in the wake of increased ICE enforcement. In response to these questions, we will continue to update the Know Your Rights page on our website. However, here are a few important suggestions that you should communicate with your clients and other concerned community members. View or download the full document here:
