An infographic available in both English and Spanish titled 'Protect Yourself: Know Your Rights and Stay Prepared' / 'Protéjase: Conozca Sus Derechos y Prepárese.' It features four sections with actionable steps for immigrant families to protect themselves during encounters with ICE. The first section, 'Know Your Rights' / 'Conozca Sus Derechos,' explains that individuals should not open the door without a valid warrant with their name and a stamp, have the right to remain silent, should not sign any documents without speaking to a lawyer, and only family members with legal status should answer the door. The second section, 'Be Prepared' / 'Prepárese,' provides tips on keeping important documents (such as IDs and visas) organized in a folder, memorizing the number of a lawyer or a rapid-response hotline, and staying calm if stopped by the police. The third section, 'Family Emergency Plan' / 'Plan Familiar para Emergencias,' recommends creating a plan with assigned responsibilities, keeping emergency numbers accessible, and discussing with family members what to do in case of an ICE visit. The fourth section, 'What to Do If You See ICE' / 'Qué Hacer Si Ve a ICE,' advises verifying ICE identity and purpose, documenting the interaction with photos and notes, and sharing verified information with the community to help others. The infographic ends with a supportive message, 'You Are Not Alone' / 'No Está Solo/a,' encouraging preparation as the first step to staying safe. The footer includes the Villa Counseling website link (villamentalhealth.com) and Instagram handle (@villa_counseling).
