Know Your Rights
This presentation is focused on providing information to those who are interested in gaining knowledge on the basic constitutional rights we all have regardless of immigration status. Additionally, we will discuss any updates in immigration policies and how these affect them. We will also provide information on fraud prevention and resources available to those seeking immigration legal services. Because Immigration policies are constantly changing, this presentation’s focus may evolve based on current policies or current events.
