Regardless of politics, the news coming out of Minnesota over the last two weeks has been incredibly alarming and discouraging. We unequivocally condemn the violence and loss of life we are witnessing, and we are appalled that families are being terrorized in their own communities.<\/p>\n<p>Our hearts go out to everyone who is grieving, fearful, or struggling to make sense of what has happened. We know moments like these can bring deep uncertainty and anxiety, especially for the individuals and families we serve.<\/p>\n<p>We are deeply troubled by the scale of resources being directed toward enforcement while devastating cuts are being made to safety net services that millions of Americans depend on. Amidst this news and the fears it has stirred, we have heard heart-wrenching stories from our Hope families, staff, and partners about people facing impossible situations resulting in family separations, fear, and detention.<\/p>\n<p>And still, we believe in the power of community. Even in the hardest moments, we see people showing up for one another with compassion, courage, and care. This is part of what makes us human, the ability, and often the demand, to hold two opposite emotions at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>While we do not have all the answers, we are committed to doing everything we can, to the full extent of the law, to protect the people we serve and employ from actions that disregard due process or personal dignity.<\/p>\n<h4>Below is a summary of Hope Services\u2019 approach to safety, inclusion, and support:<\/h4>\n<h4>Our Commitment to Safety and Confidentiality<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Hope Services is committed to supporting every member of our community, regardless of immigration status.<\/li>\n<li role=\"presentation\">We do not share personal or immigration information with ICE or other federal immigration authorities.<\/li>\n<li role=\"presentation\">We do not ask participants about their immigration status.<\/li>\n<li role=\"presentation\">Our sites are maintained as welcoming environments, with private client spaces beyond public lobby and retail areas.<\/li>\n<li role=\"presentation\">In accordance with California law, immigration agents must present a judicial warrant to enter non-public workplace areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Know Your Rights (Including Disability Rights)<\/h4>\n<p>Everyone has rights, regardless of immigration status. In California, individuals also have additional protections under state law.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, people with disabilities have the right to reasonable accommodations if interacting with law enforcement or immigration officials. This may include support with communication, understanding instructions, sensory needs, mobility, or mental health.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage families and community members to review these resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li role=\"presentation\"><a id=\"OWAdc86caa7-c92f-5f54-9378-ae9b1ff9f8f7\" title=\"Original URL: https:\/\/oag.ca.gov\/immigrant\/resources.
