news.yahoo.com

A local immigrant rights group, Somos Un Pueblo Unido, has launched a "Know Your Rights" campaign to educate people about their constitutional rights. The initiative aims to reach 3,000 individuals through workshops and presentations across New Mexico. The campaign comes in response to new immigration policies announced by President Donald Trump, which include building a border wall and halting refugee resettlement. The organization emphasizes the importance of understanding civil liberties, particularly in light of these changes. Workshops will cover topics like the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, focusing on informed discussions rather than legal advice. The group will also share resources online, including guides in English and Spanish for interacting with law enforcement and immigration agents.
