If you work at a local business, health center, social services or licensing agency, police department, school, or place of worship, you are part of building the Ohio community.

You have a core mission and want to do it to the best of your ability. Trying to enforce immigration laws will divert you from your primary purpose, harm local families, and expose your organization to liability.

If someone in your office needs an interpreter, do not contact ICE or the Border Patrol. Their job is to arrest people, not provide translation. And, every person in Ohio has rights, including immigrants with various citizenship statuses and you, in your place of business.

It’s impossible to determine someone’s immigration status by looking at them or hearing them talk. Making an assumption is racial profiling.
