Children Thrive Action Network (CTAN) created this toolkit, which is being updated ad-hoc, to serve two purposes: 

1. Help service providers and community members speak out against immigration enforcement that harms children in immigrant families.

1. Help parents, service providers, and community members protect families at risk of being torn apart by aggressive immigration enforcement.

• Help children whose parents are facing deportation

  • For providers and mixed-status families

  • For providers

  • For early childhood and K-12 educators and school districts

• Help my community prepare or respond to a workplace raid

• Help immigrants learn their rights in the United States and how to protect them 

  • Resources in Multiple Languages

  • Guidance on Expedited Removal

• Educate the public and policymakers about the impact of immigration enforcement on children
