Immigration

We created a written advisory for nonprofits explaining how to respond if federal immigration authorities appear on-site. These materials outline when organizations may legally refuse entry, how to interact with law enforcement, and how to establish safe, rights-centered protocols grounded in the Fourth Amendment and applicable federal and state policies.

Demand quickly grew for deeper guidance on creating protected spaces—areas where entry requires a judicial warrant. To meet this need, we delivered live and virtual trainings for nonprofit leaders, staff, and volunteers. Through webinars alone, we trained thousands. We also launched a dedicated email hotline to connect nonprofits with pro bono counsel for help with policies, data collection practices, and enforcement-response planning.

As we worked with more organizations, it became clear that different sectors faced unique challenges. We expanded our support by developing tailored trainings and materials for schools, arts and cultural organizations, health care providers, religious institutions, food banks, libraries, and others.

This scalable model allowed us to reach broad audiences while giving organizations concrete tools to continue delivering essential, mission-driven services safely.
