Resources for the Bronx Immigrant & Migrant Community
/We are here for the Bronx Community, no matter your situation. Here are a few resources to navigate this time.
Our community has a rich migrant history at its roots - approximately 36% of Bronx County residents were born outside of the U.S.
We understand that being a migrant can come with unique challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone. You have rights, and we’re here to connect you with vital information and resources.
Please share these resources with someone in our community who might need them:
Know Your Rights with ICE: Learn your rights during encounters with federal immigration enforcement. View the flyer here.
What to do if a family member is detained: If a friend or a family member is detained by ICE, there may be resources. View the flyer here.
