Self-Help Graphics set up a printing stand in their parking lot to make “Know Your Rights” posters in English and Spanish with information about what to do if confronted by immigration agents or police , the Los Angeles Times reports.
The Boyle Heights community arts organization made the move following the Trump administration’s decision to end to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA, a program that protects immigrants who were brought here as children from deportation. Nearly 800,000 people are recipients of DACA nationwide.
Self-Help workers and volunteers handed the posters out to people driving who were stuck in traffic and commuters getting off the Metro at the Pico/Aliso station. The poster reads “Know your rights” and urges people to “not answer any questions or sign anything without legal representation.”
President Trump urged Congress to act on the future of DACA recipients. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced last week that the administration is starting a six month wind down process to give law makers time to take action.
