A New Path

About the Book

An edition of an essential resource in both English and Español

A New Path: A Guide to the Challenges and Opportunities After Deportation, is a guide for people who live in the United States with the threat of deportation. This resource educates people facing deportation about their rights and connects them to legal help. For those facing imminent deportation, the guide includes information on what to expect during the detention and deportation processes and provides a list of resources in Mexico and several other Central American countries. Created by the Education Justice Project at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, it focuses on the experiences of people who have been deported, centering their advice and suggestions. The guide was also created with the input of immigration attorneys and immigrants’ rights organizations.

The Educational Justice Project opposes the the detention and deportation of anyone, and this guide should not be seen as an endorsement of deportation. Rather, knowledge is power, and this guide can serve as a useful tool to help individuals navigate the dehumanizing processes of detention and deportation.
