As L.A. continues to find itself under unprecedented occupation and assault by federal boogeymen, it’s important for people to know their rights. And should anyone find themselves or a family member detained, arrested, or disappeared, to have the names of attorneys or legal aid organizations that are available to help them navigate troubled waters in immigration court.
