This app is a reference app for people going through immigration proceedings.
It is built on top of React Native utilizing the Expo platform in order to deliver new content quickly and easily to individuals.
Currently, the app walks users through what to do in the event ICE and/or police arrive at their home. Users answer a series of yes or no questions that help guide the legal actions they can take (such as refusing entry without proper warrants, etc.).
This app came about because I am appalled by the conditions immigrants are facing, especially in the current political climate. As a programmer, I have felt rather useless since I don't have direct legal knowledge to help individuals. Besides contacting my representatives, this was the next best thing I could think of. I encourage any and all pull requests to enhance the application and help connect individuals with organizations providing additional resources. It is a very quick and "dirty" app from a programming point of view - having something out and working on people's phones is more important than perfecting the code, especially in an area like this where time is of the essence.
All individuals who wish to contribute code to this repository or engage with its community in any way:
- Affirm that all people have value as human beings, regardless of immigration status.
- Will be constructive in helping individuals navigate the US legal system via this app.
