1. Know Your Rights
As the Trump administration continues its aggressive immigration crackdown on ordinary immigrant workers and families, Fresno residents gathered to help the deaf and hard of hearing residents prepare for encounters with masked and frequently unidentified federal agents.
The event was organized by Poder LatinX, The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Service Center along with support from state Sen. Anna M. Caballero.
Fresnoland’s Diego Vargas was on hand at the workshop and spoke with a mother who worries for son.
Fresno mother Maria Rubio: “It’s very, very difficult sometimes to have educational presentations that also educate deaf people. It makes me feel good knowing he knows his rights as a human being as it relates to everything going on and in case we are ever detained.”
