Attorney General Charity Clark released guidance intended to help Vermont’s immigrant and noncitizen communities understand their rights during encounters with immigration enforcement officers. The guide was designed in response to the many Vermonters who have expressed great concern about recent changes in federal immigration enforcement. It seeks to answer questions about (1) the power of the federal government, (2) the role, or lack thereof, state or local law enforcement play in civil immigration enforcement, and (3) the rights Vermonters can exercise if they encounter immigration enforcement officers. “I know many in our communities are feeling anxious or scared right now. My office is providing this guide to give folks who may come in contact with immigration enforcement officers the tools they need to advocate for themselves and their loved ones.” – AG Clark
