Know your rights when working or volunteering in health care centers, homeless shelters, places of worship, and schools.
If you're a service provider – be it a clergy member, educator, shelter staff, healthcare provider, or employer – there's a chance you may have to interact with immigration enforcement officers while at work. If you work or volunteer in one of these settings, there are things you can do to protect the people you serve, your community, and other employees or volunteers if ICE or CBP agents enter your space.
We've put together a list of resources from the ACLU of Maine and trusted partner organizations who specialize in immigration law. If you work or volunteer in one of these settings, these resources will help you navigate interactions with ICE by understanding your rights and the rights of the people you serve.
