Informational leaflet on the consequences of criminal convictions and gives non- US citizens knowledge and resources to fight the deportation process.
2011

While the leaflet is folded the front cover is a striking yellow colour emphasising the caution behind the title “Immigrants Beware!” The bold use of the primary colours red and blue highlight the topics which will be made on the interior and signpost the reader to look out for them. Once unfolded there are case studies which are emphasised by the yellow while other information is presented within blue and red graph-like design.

Until 1996 every immigrant facing detention and deportation had the right to be heard in court, where the judges would base their decisions on factors such as length of residence, family and community ties, and work history. Today many immigrants face mandatory detention and deportation without any of these previous considerations. The pamphlet aims to immigration system and provides non-US citizens the knowledge and resources to fight against the deportation process.
