What rights do immigrants have in Minnesota? How can people prepare for encounters with ICE? What can you do to support the community? Sahan Journal has heard a bunch of questions like these since President Donald Trump took office, and we’re here to get you the information you need.

On Tuesday, February 11, Sahan Journal will host an hourlong livestream on our Instagram with special guests from The Advocates for Human Rights to answer your questions about immigration in Minnesota.

Hanne Sandison, the refugee and immigrant program director at The Advocates for Human Rights, and program supervising attorney Kim Boche will talk about their work supporting asylum seekers, immigrants held in ICE detention, and noncitizen children. Come ask your questions about protecting immigrant rights in Minnesota and the resources available for asylum seekers, noncitizen children, and more.

Please note that our guests cannot answer legal questions or give specific legal advice during this event. They will share general information and resources about immigration.

We hope you will tune in for this informational conversation. Mark your calendars, share the event, and bring your questions!
