A sad ruling for some foreign-born students in Kansas.

07/22/2026

As difficult as this may be, it’s time for families without permanent legal status to have a family preparedness conversation in a very calm manner as if preparing for an earthquake, flood or other natural disaster, then take appropriate and necessary action to defend against their detention/removal, or prepare for their departure/family separation.

Por difícil que esto pueda ser, es hora de que las familias sin estatus legal permanente tengan una conversación sobre preparación familiar de una manera muy tranquila, como si se estuvieran preparando para un terremoto, una inundación u otro desastre natural, y luego tomen las medidas apropiadas y necesarias para defenderse de su detención/expulsión o prepararse para su salida o separación familiar.
