Know Your Rights No Matter Who is President

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
No matter who is president, everyone living in the U.S. has certain basic rights under the U.S. Constitution.

# data[].attributes.body
Última actualización: enero de 2025

Independientemente de quien sea presidente, todas las personas que viven en EE. UU. tienen ciertos derechos básicos bajo la Constitución de EE. UU. Los inmigrantes indocumentados también tienen estos derechos. Es importante que todos ejerzamos y protejamos nuestros derechos básicos.

La Oficina de Servicios de Inmigración (ISB) del Departamento de Servicios Sociales de California (CDSS) desarrolla, implementa y administra programas integrales que financian a organizaciones sin fines de lucro en todo el estado para brindar servicios legales de inmigración pro bono, educación y extensión comunitaria, y otros esfuerzos esenciales de inclusión e integración de inmigrantes. El Departamento también invierte en iniciativas de equidad para inmigrantes y programas especiales de desarrollo de capacidades para aumentar la disponibilidad de servicios legales de inmigración para las poblaciones inmigrantes más desatendidas.

Si se encuentra en una situación en la que tiene que responder al Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE) u otros agentes del orden en su casa, en la calle o en cualquier otro lugar, recuerde que tiene los derechos que se describen a continuación.

Tiene el derecho a guardar silencio. Puede negarse a hablar con los funcionarios de inmigración.

No contesté ninguna pregunta. También puede decir que quiere permanecer en silencio.

No diga nada sobre dónde nació o cómo ingresó en EE. UU.

No abra su puerta.

Para poder ingresar en su casa, ICE tiene que tener una orden de registro firmada por el juez. No abra su puerta a menos que un agente de ICE le muestre una orden de registro. (Casi nunca la tienen). Si un  agente de ICE quiere mostrarle una orden de registro, puede ponerla contra una ventana o deslizarla debajo de la puerta. Para que sea válida, la orden tiene que tener su nombre y dirección correctos.

No tiene que abrir la puerta para hablar con un agente de ICE. Una vez que abra la puerta, será mucho más difícil negarse a contestar preguntas.

Tiene el derecho de hablar con un abogado.

Simplemente puede decir: “Necesito hablar con mi abogado”, puede tener un abogado a su lado si ICE u otra agencia del orden lo interroga.

Lleve consigo una tarjeta Conozca-sus-derechos y muéstrela si lo detiene un funcionario de inmigración.

Esta tarjeta explica que usted va a permanecer en silencio y que quiere hablar con un abogado.

Tiene el derecho de hablar con un abogado.

Simplemente puede decir: “Necesito hablar con mi abogado”, puede tener un abogado a su lado si ICE u otra agencia del orden lo interroga.

Antes de firmar algo, hable con un abogado.

ICE puede tratar de conseguir que usted firme para renunciar a su derecho a ver un abogado o un juez. Verifique que comprende realmente lo que dice el documento antes de firmarlo.

Siempre lleve consigo cualquier documento de inmigración válido que tenga.

Por ejemplo, si tiene un permiso de trabajo válido o una tarjeta verde, téngala a mano en caso de que haya que mostrarla con fines de identificación.

Si usted tiene un caso de inmigración pendiente, como un pedido de asilo, un caso de inmigración abierto en la corte o una apelación pendiente, lleve consigo un comprobante de dicho caso pendiente.

No lleve consigo documentos de otro país, como un pasaporte extranjero. Estos se pueden usar en su contra en el proceso de deportación.

Si has vivido en EE. UU. por más de dos años, lleve consigo un comprobante y muéstrelo al agente de inmigración en caso de que lo arreste.

Si usted es indocumentado, lleve consigo un comprobante de haber estado en EE. UU. por más de dos años y muéstreselo al agente de inmigración en caso de que lo arreste. Esto quizás no prevenga una deportación, pero puede evitar que ocurra sin tener la posibilidad de ver a un juez.

El comprobante puede ser un contrato de alquiler firmado, registros de una iglesia o escuela con su dirección, o correspondencia con matasellos que haya recibido en su domicilio.

Le conviene llevar consigo copias de estos documentos en vez de los originales, para no correr el riesgo de perderlos.  Si lo arrestan y lo colocan en procesamiento expedito, y usted tiene miedo de volver a su país de origen, hágalo saber con claridad cada vez que tenga una oportunidad.

Dígale al funcionario si tiene hijos.  Si usted es un padre o cuidador primario de un ciudadano de EE. UU. o residente permanente menor de 18 años, ICE puede “ejercer discreción” y dejarlo en libertad.

A veces los agentes de ICE mienten a la gente para conseguir que abran sus puertas o firmen un documento donde renuncian a sus derechos.

Haga un plan de seguridad.  Aprenda de memoria el teléfono de un amigo, familiar o abogado a quien puede llamar en caso de ser arrestado.  Si cuida a menores u otras personas, haga un plan para que alguien los cuide en caso de que lo detengan.  Guarde documentos importantes, como actas de nacimiento y documentos de inmigración, en un lugar seguro donde un amigo o familiar los pueda acceder de ser necesario.

En caso de que ICE lo detenga. Pueden usar el localizador en línea de detenidos de ICE (https://locator.ice.gov/odls/homePage.do) para encontrar a un adulto que está bajo la custodia de agentes de inmigración.

Puede llamar a la línea de asistencia de la Oficina Ejecutiva de Revisión de Inmigración (Executive Office for Immigration Review, EOIR) al 1-800-898-7180 (sin cargo) 24 horas por día, 7 días por semana para obtener información sobre el estado de su caso.

Obtenga ayuda legal.

Puede encontrar organizaciones sin fines de lucro que proporcionan ayuda de bajo costo en www.immigrationlawhelp.org.

Los tribunales de inmigración tienen una lista de abogados y organizaciones que brindan servicios legales gratis: www.justice.gov/eoir/list-pro-bono-legal-service-providers-map.                             En https://www.immi.org/en/Info/FindLegalHelp hay un motor de búsqueda donde puede poner un código postal y obtener una lista de todos los servicios legales cerca de su zona.

Puede encontrar un abogado de inmigración en el directorio en línea de la Asociación Americana de Abogados de Inmigración (American Immigration Lawyers Association), www.ailalawyer.com.  El Proyecto nacional de inmigración de la Asociación Nacional de Abogados (National Lawyers Guild) también tiene una herramienta en línea para encontrar un abogado: https://nipnlg.org/work/findattorney.

The Grass Valley Family Resource Center (FRC), located next door to the Grass Valley Charter School, has closed its doors after 14 years of service. The Grass Valley School District is absorbing this building into its organization for program repurposing. Over the years the Grass Valley FRC has been able to offer a wide variety of services and supports for local families, including playgroups for preschool children, parenting workshops, a clothes closet, partnership with the Nevada County Diaper Project, referrals to local community agencies for behavioral and mental health support, Promotora translation services for families, tutoring services for students, and much more. While this physical location will no longer be available to the FRC, the services will not go away. Full services will continue to be provided at the other two FRC locations in Penn Valley on the Ready Springs campus and San Juan Ridge on the Oak Tree campus.

We celebrate the many years of service in commitment to supporting students and families provided by the Grass Valley FRC. Thank you to the families who have utilized these services and supports, and we hope that you continue to reach out to our other two sites for your needs. We encourage you to check out the website for information about services from our Promotora, parenting education specialist and the calendar of summer events being held at the Penn Valley and San Juan Ridge FRC locations.

teen Mental Health First Aid (tMHFA) is a training program for teens brought to the United States by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing in partnership with Born This Way Foundation. It teaches teens in grades 10-12, or ages 15-18, how to identify, understand and respond to signs of a mental health or substance use challenge in their friends and peers. The training gives teens the skills to have supportive conversations with their friends and teaches them how to get help from a responsible and trusted adult. Learn more about how tMHFA can benefit young people in your community.

There are three ways to teach and learn tMHFA.

In-person - Lessons are conducted in person in six 45-minute sessions or three 90-minute sessions.

Blended - Teens complete a self-paced online lesson, then participate in six live, Instructor-led sessions. These Instructor-led sessions can be:

Video conferences.

In-person classes.

Become a tMHFA Site

Any school, youth-serving organization or organization in partnership with a school that wants to bring tMHFA training to teens at their site can apply to become a tMHFA Site. Schools and organizations must be accepted to teach tMHFA.

If you are interested in bringing tMHFA to teens in your community, complete this form to get in touch with a member of our team to learn more about the requirements and begin your application.

Become a tMHFA Instructor

Instructors are on the frontlines of the program, training teens in their communities how to assess, respond and bring in a trusted adult if a peer seems to be having a mental health or substance use challenge. Instructors teach from a national curriculum, tailor discussions to their participants and compile a list of local resources for help. Instructor candidates can be certified to teach tMHFA in-person or online.

The National Council for Mental Wellbeing requires that adults who teach the tMHFA program to teens attend a tMHFA Instructor training to be certified in the curriculum.

If you are interested in applying for a tMHFA Instructor training, complete this form to get in touch with a member of our team. Whether you are still looking for a site to teach tMHFA, or you have an organization in mind, you must speak with a member of our team before you can apply to become a tMHFA Instructor. Our team can assist in answering any questions you may have and next steps. See here for a schedule of upcoming tMHFA Instructor Trainings.

Parental Involvement

We provide tMHFA sites with several resources to inform parents and guardians about the program and provide parents and guardians the opportunity to reach out to someone at the school or organization if they have questions or concerns. All parents and guardians have the opportunity to opt their child out of taking the tMHFA course.

In addition, an important component of the tMHFA program is encouraging teens to reach out to parent or trusted adult. For this reason, sites are encouraged to provide Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) training - our course for adults who work with youth - before the tMHFA course begins or concurrently with the tMHFA course to create opportunities for increased trust and shared understanding between teens and their parents/caregivers.

Resources

Parents, guardians and caregivers are encouraged to help bring tMHFA to their community and young people. Use these resources to advocate for tMHFA at your teens' school or youth-serving organization:

McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Services

The Nevada County Superintendent of Schools houses a Homeless Education Department which provides technical assistance and training to school districts and identified site liaisons to ensure that students experiencing homelessness have equal access to educational opportunities. Services provided include dispute resolution, community outreach and referrals, funding for school activities and educational needs, staff development materials, and attendance services.

Help is Available for Families in Nevada County

Under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act, each site is required by law to have a liaison who coordinates services related to the act. Families who are experiencing homelessness should reach out to their designated Homeless Education site liaison to inquire about services and programs that their child may qualify for.

When are Students Considered Homeless?

Many children and families who are eligible for help do not consider themselves homeless. According to the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Education Assistance Act, a family is considered homeless if living in any of the following situations:

Lack a regular, fixed, and adequate nighttime residence including:

Living in a shelter, motel, or hotel

Living in an unsheltered residence- such as a car or park

Sharing housing (doubled-up or couch-surfing) due to economic hardship

Living in campgrounds due to lack of alternative accommodations

Unaccompanied children or youth (i.e. not in the physical custody of their parents or guardians)

Services That Your School May Be Able to Provide Include:

Assistance with gathering educational records from the last school attended

Referrals to community resources

Enrollment in Free and Reduced Lunch programs

Financial assistance for educational needs

Get Help

For a first step toward assistance, please contact your school district and ask to speak to the Homeless Education Liaison. View Schools Directory

For homeless community resources call 211 by dialing 2-1-1 or 1-833-DIAL211 or visit 211 Connecting Point.

Access additional support at our local Family Resource Centers (FRCs):

Penn Valley FRC: (530) 432-1118 x. 2249

San Juan Ridge FRC: (530) 292-3174

Know Your Rights

Students who are experiencing homelessness are also granted special rights under the act. As a homeless youth, you have the right to:

SCHOOL STABILITY - To remain enrolled in, and be transported to a student's School of Origin when feasible, even if a student moves outside of the district. ('School of Origin' means the school last attended when permanently housed, or the school in which the child or youth was last enrolled).

IMMEDIATE ENROLLMENT - To be enrolled immediately (even without medical or school records) in the neighborhood school.

FOOD PROVISION - To receive FREE breakfast and/or lunch in schools that serve both.

ASSISTANCE WITH BARRIERS - To have barriers addressed so that they can participate in athletics, field trips, and after school activities (this could include having certain school fees waived). Parents or guardians should contact school staff for help.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT - To ask for academic support if a student is struggling with classwork. Parents or guardians should contact school staff for assistance.

TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE - To ask for transportation support if a student is at risk of missing school. Parents or guardians should contact school staff for assistance. Homeless Liaisons can work with parents to problem-solve transportation challenges.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION - To use the school district's Dispute Resolution Process to appeal a school's decision when there is a disagreement about school selection or enrollment.

SAFE Program at Bright Futures for Youth

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Nevada County, like many others statewide, is dealing with a critical and fast-growing problem - an increasing number of children and young adults are experiencing homelessness.

Couch surfing. Living in cars. Or even sleeping on the streets.

It's a hard-to-connect with population and an often-overlooked issue.

Bright Futures for Youth established the SAFE (Stability, Access, Foundation, Empowerment) program in 2019, with a commitment to connect with and help youth experiencing housing instability - and put an end to chronic homelessness.

SAFE (Stability, Access, Foundation, Empowerment) has been a huge success.

The SAFE program has assisted more than 100 children and young adults (26 years old and younger) during the past three years. And another five or so youth reach out to the SAFE program every week.

In order to be more effective, SAFE established the SAFE Youth Drop-in Navigation Center in summer 2022. The Drop-in Center gives children and young adults experiencing homelessness access to much-needed services in a safe and supervised environment, providing everything from clothing and grab-and-go food to ensuring they have health care and counseling.

SAFE Youth Drop-in Navigation Center 200 Litton Drive, Grass ValleyHours 1-5 pm Mon., Wed., Thurs. 11 am-3 pm Tues.Youth can come to the Drop-in Center to get more information about SAFE and get food, clothing, hygiene supplies, showers and more.

SAFE program case managers also make sure youth who are experiencing homelessness have access to local and/or state funding, such as CalFresh or Medi-Cal, and know what resources are available to them.

But we cannot do this alone. Our fast-growing program has many needs, and we greatly appreciate the support from the community, from individuals to small-business owners.

Together, we are working hard to make the next generation the best generation - and end youth homelessness in Nevada County.

SAFE helps with homelessness in Nevada County by providing:

Basic needs, such as food, clothing, housing, showers

Education and training, including transitioning to college and/or trade school

Physical health and mental wellness counseling

Training to develop the necessary skills to live independently

In Crisis? Call 9-1-1 for physical health and safety emergencies, including overdoses ( Good Samaritan Law). Call 530-265-5811 or 9-8-8 for mental health or emotional emergencies.

Know Overdose Nevada County is a local campaign to increase knowledge and awareness about drug overdose risks and harm reduction strategies to help prevent overdoses and deaths.

Like many other communities across the state and country, Nevada County has seen an increase in overdose deaths in the past few years. This has largely been a result of synthetic opioids, particularly fentanyl, entering the local drug supply.

Our diverse coalition of community supporters believes improving access to information and resources and increasing awareness of harm reduction strategies are an important part of reversing this trend and preventing overdose deaths.

Know Overdose Nevada County's goals are to:

1. Prevent deaths from drug overdoses

2. Keep people safer when using drugs

3. Connect people who use drugs and their support networks to resources and information

We offer a quiet, co nfidential place to pause and reflect upon your life - where you are now, where you want to go, and how you will get there.

Counseling encourages you to take responsibility for the quality of your life as you develop the understanding and strength to make the best possible decisions. Counseling expands awareness. It provides an opportunity for you to discover your own voice and find the courage to express it. Counseling can help you make sense of your past and use it to your advantage in the future.

You may have tried, unsuccessfully, to manage your problems on your own. Counseling uncovers underlying issues that may block your ability to do what you know you need to do. Anew Day can help you develop skills and strategies needed to make your life meaningful and your relationships rewarding.

If you need help, we are here to provide a warm, caring, confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and get back on the road to feeling better about your situation and yourself.

We need your support as we serve our community! If you would like to donate, click on the button to the right. To learn more about other ways to support our mission,

Wraparound is a strength based approach which supports youth and their families in identifying their own strengths. Wraparound is an intensive, holistic method of engaging with individuals with complex needs (typically children, youth, and their families) so that they can live in their homes and communities and realize their hopes and dreams.

We partner with behavioral health, child welfare, and juvenile justice departments across California, implementing our Wraparound model focused on enhancing youth safety, permanency, and wellbeing through Wraparound programs for vulnerable youth and families. We recognize that no two families are alike, and Wraparound believes in tailoring services to meet each family's individual and unique needs.

Reservations for ADA Paratransit Trips (not On-Demand-Dial-A-Ride)

Reservations must be made the day before the requested ride or up to several days in advance.

There is no same-day service.

Reservations are made by calling Nevada County Now at (530) 271-7433 or toll-free at (855) 314-7433.

You will be asked to make a reservation for the return trip at the same time you make your original reservation.

ADA Paratransit Service Application

Considerate Passenger Policies

For public safety, face masks are highly recommended to be worn at all times when traveling on public transportation.

For those community members who are using our system we respectfully request that all passengers observe the following CDC recommended precautions to prevent the spread of illnesses:

Wash your hands with soap and water before and after riding public transit. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Cough or sneeze into your elbow.

Stay six feet away from other people.

Stay home if you are sick. IF YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL, DO NOT TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. Call your healthcare provider before you leave your home and follow their guidance.

While Nevada County Now operations are increasing cleaning and sanitization, following these recommendations is the best way to prevent the spread of illnesses onboard.

Eligibility

Eligibility for ADA paratransit service is directly related to the inability of a person with a disability to use the existing regularly scheduled fixed-route buses. It is not just based on the presence of a disability, but on the effect that the disability has on the person's ability to independently use the fixed-route system. Requirements for paratransit do not apply to commuter bus service. Several factors must be considered when determining ADA paratransit eligibility. These include:

Individual Disability Any individual with a disability who is unable, as the result of physical or mental impairment (including a vision impairment), and without the assistance of another individual (except the operator of a wheelchair lift or other boarding assistance device), to board, ride, or disembark from any vehicle on the system which is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.

Limite d Accessibility of the Fixed Route System Any individual with a disability who is unable to independently board, ride, or disembark from an accessible vehicle when the system is not fully accessible*. *When the lift cannot be deployed at the boarding or disembarking location the person with a disability wishes to use, or a required mobility device such as a wheelchair cannot be accommodated.

Environmental & Architectural Barriers Individuals whose disability PREVENTS them from traveling to boarding or disembarking location (Example: steep terrain, extreme temperatures, severe air pollution, or inability to negotiate architectural barriers to reach a specific bus stop) this is considered conditional eligibility and a person may be eligible for only some trips. Architectural barriers not under the control of Nevada County Transit and environmental barriers (e.g., distance, terrain, weather) do not, standing alone, form a basis for eligibility under this paragraph. The interaction of such barriers with an individual's specific impairment-related condition may form a basis for eligibility under this paragraph if the effect is to prevent the individual from traveling to a boarding location or from a disembarking location.

ADA Paratransit Service Type

Once an application has been reviewed and the applicant has met one or more of the requirements above, then a determination is made regarding that person's eligibility for using the ADA paratransit system. Eligibility for Nevada County's ADA Paratransit Service (Nevada County Now) is classified as one of the following:

Unconditional Service: An individual who is unable to use the fixed-route bus system under any conditions without the assistance of another individual (except the operator of a wheelchair lift).

Conditional Service: An individual who cannot travel to or from a boarding or disembarking location, or who is unable to use the fixed-route system under some circumstances. Eligibility for service in this category will be determined on an individual trip-by-trip basis.

Temporary Conditional Service: An individual who, due to a temporary condition (i.e. broken leg/hip, use of a walker during rehabilitation), cannot travel to or from a boarding or disembarking location, or who is unable to use the fixed-route system under some circumstances for a specific period of time. Eligibility for service in this category will be determined on an individual trip-by-trip basis.

Visitors: Visitors who are currently certified for ADA service in another county, or who have a verifiable, limiting disability are entitled to comparable service within Nevada County. Nevada County Now service can begin once verification has been made. An application may be required if service is required more than 21 days in a calendar year.

Beyond ADA (Supplemental) Service: Nevada County, via Nevada County Now, provides supplemental paratransit service up to 3/4 of a mile beyond the mandated ¾ mile ADA service area boundary. This service is provided on a limited basis depending on operational capacity. Individuals requesting Beyond ADA service area trips must be ADA certified. Please note that trips originating or terminating in the Beyond ADA service area will be prioritized for medical appointments due to the limited service capacity.

If you earned less than $64,000 in 2023, contact the Nevada County VITA tax line at 530-265-1727 for assistance with your return. HHSA will be making appointments through April 12th 2024.

Tax credits help working families and their communities thrive; unfortunately, many taxpayers leave them unclaimed annually. This outreach event aims to bring awareness to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a fully refundable credit based on earned income. Your VITA tax credit amount depends on your annual income, marital status, and the number of qualifying children in your household.

This year, the program will operate primarily as a drop-off site. Customers can complete their intake forms, leave their paperwork with staff to complete the return, and come back to review and submit their return.

Customers may even complete the intake form online and send it with their paperwork via e-mail. Some appointment times will be kept available for those who are not comfortable leaving their documents.

If you would like to make arrangements to have your taxes prepared, please contact the Nevada County VITA tax line by phone at 530-265-1727 or by e-mail at EITC@nevadacountyca.gov. Once you have scheduled your time for tax preparation, your documents can be dropped off at Eric Rood Center 950 Maidu Ave Ste 120, Nevada City.

Mobile Crisis Services

Mobile Crisis services are available 24/7 to all individuals within Nevada County who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The Mobile Crisis Team is staffed by two behavioral health professionals who are specially trained to respond to calls related to mental wellness and crisis related to substance use. The goal of the team is to de-escalate critical incidents through safety planning, provide warm handoff referrals and follow up care. Crisis services are free of charge and available to all individuals within Nevada County who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis.

Calls are routed through the Crisis Triage Line at (530) 265-5811.

Inpatient Hospitalization

The Crisis Team may also assist adults or children to access inpatient psychiatric services under Welfare and Institution Code 5150. These individuals are an immediate danger to themselves or others, or gravely disabled (e.g. unable to access or utilize food, clothing, or shelter due to a mental illness). The County contracts with a number of hospitals which are outside of Nevada County to provide this service. The Nevada County Crisis Team authorizes the services, arranges transportation, and coordinates the admission.

Nevada County Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU)

The Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) is a 23-hour program that provides emergency psychiatric care in a warm, welcoming environment for individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The four bed Crisis Stabilization Unit provides more in-depth treatment to individuals while behavioral health crisis workers determine if they need to be transferred to a psychiatric hospital or can respond to outpatient services.

The Crisis Stabilization Unit is located to the left of the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Emergency entrance and is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. After hours, all evaluations occur in the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Emergency Department. The Crisis Stabilization Unit is a collaborative project with Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital, Sierra Mental Wellness Group, and Nevada County Behavioral Health. The project was made possible by funding from Senate Bill 82- The investment in Mental Health Wellness Act and the California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA).
