Welcome to another round of reading resources. This resource series focuses on ICE and deportations in the United States. Painful experiences with ICE, immigration, seeking refuge, and deportation in the United States can impact people at any age, including children. The books below bring a human element to stories about immigration, dealing with the pain of deportation, and the loss of safe harbor, all written at a level that is accessible to children reading at a middle grade level. You can also find resources, support, and information about your rights when dealing with ICE or other immigration officials in the links under this paragraph.
