New 911 for Immigrants: The Deportation Family Support Hotline — 855-435-7693 or 855-HELP-MY-F(amily)

In response to the Obama administration’s greatly expanded number of removals, immigrant advocates in Chicago have unveiled a legal aid and assistance hotline. The hotline — 855-435-7693 or 855-HELP-MY-F(amily) — is modeled after ones for homelessness or domestic violence, where volunteers take calls around the clock and guide callers to help.  Created by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR), the Deportation Family Support Hotline is run by volunteers.
