Family preparedness is about making legal, financial, and caregiving plans in advance to help protect your family's legal and financial affairs in case a loved one is detained or deported. Without preparation, families face greater risks of disruption. Children may be separated from their parents, savings may become inaccessible, and loved ones may struggle to navigate the system. While preparation does not eliminate these risks, it can equip you and your family with essential information and tools to help protect one another.
