Borderlands Resource Initiative ensures that faith leaders, school administrators, nonprofit directors, and other community leaders understand and uphold Fourth Amendment protections and other legal rights to prevent unlawful immigration enforcement actions. Protecting Our Spaces Defending Arizona’s Community Spaces In January 2025, the federal government removed protections from immigration enforcement for sensitive locations like schools, faith spaces, and community organizations. In response to this drastic change, Borderlands Resource Initiative and partners across the region are working together to coordinate education, resources, and training to leaders of formerly protected spaces. With shifting immigration policies and increased enforcement tactics, knowledge is power. Organizations that serve as critical social safety nets must now take proactive steps to define and defend their public versus private spaces, train staff on response protocols, and develop emergency plans that uphold civil rights. Our program is designed to: Train school administrators, nonprofit leaders, faith leaders, and service providers on how to respond to immigration enforcement encounters. Provide essential legal resources and Know Your Rights materials to communities most impacted. Strengthen organizational protocols for handling enforcement actions while protecting the dignity and safety of all individuals. Connect local leaders to a network of legal experts, rapid response teams, and advocacy partners.
