Building Community-Driven Legal Services to Empower, Protect, and Defend Our Communities: Field Guide for Deportation Defense

Under the incoming Trump administration, all immigrants and refugees, regardless of status, must know their rights and information on available immigration relief and community resources. Legal capacity is critical but sorely limited and in need of robust expansion. Community education and guidance, through a Community Navigator training program, will be essential. Through the Legal Services Collective, NPNA will continue to strengthen the field’s legal infrastructure for service delivery and deportation defense; share and develop public education resources; assist and provide education to immigrant community members in applying for DACA renewals, TPS, Other Forms of Relief, and Naturalization; and expand our "Know Your Rights" community education work to protect and defend our communities.
