Cartoon-style guidebook coaches illegals on raids

First a cartoon-style book helped them across the border, now there's another to help illegal aliens cope with raids. A Maryland-based immigrant-advocacy group is distributing the Guidebooks, which instruct those targeted by federal immigration agents during job-site raids not to cooperate if they are arrested or detained.

The eight-page, two-color illustrated book lists what rights "people who
are not United States citizens" have if detained by immigration agents,
details what to do if served with a warrant or charged with a crime, and
urges them to remain silent if they are arrested.

The book also says they should refuse to provide authorities with any
information about their immigration status. Included in the book is a "Know Your Rights" card to be cut out and presented to arresting agents, showing that those detained choose to exercise their "right to remain silent, the right to refuse to answer your questions" and to "refuse to sign anything until I consult with my
attorney."

The book, which features cartoon-like drawings of armed black and white
police officers escorting Hispanic men in handcuffs and shows babies crying
because their fathers are behind bars, is the product of CASA of Maryland
Inc., working with other organizations.
