SPECIAL EDITION

Resource guide for immigrants ✶

Amid the chaos of ICE raids, deportations and federal attacks, many community members are seeking factual, up-to-date information about immigration.

To respond to the needs of our community, our newsroom has launched a new set of resources for immigrants as part of La Voz Chicago.

This guide would not be possible without the help from over 30 community organizations in Chicago that work with immigrants daily. They gave us the most common inquiries and issues they receive, and from there, we connected with experts and attorneys to help find answers.

The first print edition of our resource guide can be found in today's Sunday paper and below are shareable digital resources. We'll add more content over time, especially as new laws, executive orders, and legal precedents shape the next four years for immigrants and non-immigrants.

And a special thank you to our members for supporting these community-driven projects.
