Navigating the U.S. immigration system can be overwhelming, especially in uncertain times. The Immigration Preparedness Handbook is designed to help individuals and families understand their rights, prepare for potential encounters with immigration enforcement, and make informed decisions to protect themselves and their loved ones. The goal of this handbook is to make information, resources, and updates accessible to our broader community. 

This tool is designed to provide information, resources, and a guide to create a plan of action for those engaging in immigration processes or who are impacted by recent changes to immigration policies. This manual contains four different chapters: (1) Explaining the U.S. Immigration Process; (2) Know Your Rights; (3) Family Planning, and (4) Pacific Islander Immigration Status and Information. The first part explains the steps of the immigration process in the U.S. along with key definitions and pathways important to the immigration process. The second section focuses on your rights at home and in public spaces when interacting with immigration enforcement agents  This section also includes information and resources on deportation processes and immigrant access to health care. Section three includes information, guides, and templates for family planning in case of emergency. Lastly, section four includes information about immigration related information specific to Pacific Islanders including the different immigration and citizenship statuses assigned to different islands, travel ban information, and healthcare access.
