Know your rigths

In response to U.S. President Donald Trump's actions in announcing executive orders focused on mass detention and deportation of immigrants in the U.S., the International Coalition Against Modern Slavery launched a campaign focused on migration justice and anti-exploitation. These executive orders, along with the closure of the CPB One app and threats against life-saving T-Visas, put migrant communities - who face some of the highest rates in the US of labor abuse, forced labor, and other forms of trafficking – at an even greater risk. 

Below we have compiled some key rights for those who are threatened by these executive orders and additional resources (legal services, consultations) that we recommend reaching out to in case you need help.
