On Jan. 16,  students passed around a yellow paper detailing what to do when confronted by ICE agents. The paper shares information on legal rights when being detained, an ICE report hotline, legal rights for “housing and tenant issues” and how to report sightings of ICE. 

NW English translator, Gremary Ungar, started passing out the slips to students and their parents when Trump was reelected in 2024. 

“I want to educate them,” Ungar said.

She expressed her concern for the Latinx students.

“You can see the impact on them,” Ungar said.“It comes out in depression and acting out. My hope is that the parents open up with their kids.”

While Ungar has been passing out the slips for over two years, recently they are generating more engagement after increased ICE sightings in Kansas City, mass protests and assault incidents. 

 “I have passed them out more often this year,” Ungar wrote in an email, “The community needs to be aware of their rights.” 

Ungar also hopes that supplying this information will facilitate more conversations at home between students and their families about how to cope with the increased fear of being detained or losing their loved ones. 

To find these slips, or additional resources, students and staff can visit Ungar in the auxiliary office.
