The campaign Know your Power!<\/em> or KYP!<\/em>, created by United We Dream, is intended to disseminate useful information for undocumented migrants related to encounters with immigration agents and possible deportations or detentions.<\/p>

How to be ready and how to act in case immigration agents look for you at your job?<\/strong><\/p>

Remember to keep calm and keep quiet. If you declare something, be sure not to lie. In case you have valid documentation or a copy of a pending immigration process, you must show it to the agents. Never sign documents, or allow them to register you and say verbally \"I do not consent to be registered.\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It is important that you have a plan with your co-workers or your boss in case immigration agents look for you at work.<\/p>

Put together an emergency packet and put it in an envelope marked \u201cPrivilege & Confidential\u201d, put it in a safe place and share where it is with a trusted person. Also have a plan for who will handle your case, and your important documents.<\/p>

It is important that you do not carry your passport, it is a travel document and if you carry it with you, you can speed up your deportation process.<\/p>

Finally, do not hand over any foreign documents, such as consular cards, driver's licenses, voter credentials. If the agents manage to get you to give them a foreign identification, they will realize that you were born outside the country and will proceed to arrest you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
