Creating a Family Immigration Raid Emergency Plan

Some parents at risk of deportation may be reluctant to develop an emergency plan or even talk to their children about the risk of separation, but it’s extremely important to be prepared. An emergency plan can help ease anxiety of the unknown, increase the chances of families being able to stay together should separation occur, and keep children from unnecessarily entering the child welfare system. Parents should create a plan and share as much of that plan as possible with their children. Don’t wait—be proactive and plan ahead.
