Immigrants represent approximately 100,000 of the District’s 700,000 residents and add immeasurable value to our communities and economy. OAG is working to protect our immigrant community through public education, community engagement, and defending their rights in court.
OAG Resources
- Know your rights about immigration enforcement in the workplace: In response to heightened concerns over immigration enforcement in the workplace, OAG released guidance to help employers and employees know their rights in English and Spanish.
- Know your rights about immigration enforcement in schools: In an effort to clarify student rights and allay concerns over immigration enforcement at schools, OAG released guidance for District school personnel about protecting the rights of students and their families in English, Spanish, French, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese.
Community Engagement
- OAG’s Community Engagement (CE) Team connects OAG resources and services to the advocates, community-based organizations, and residents in the District. Through targeted outreach efforts, it identifies pressing issues affecting diverse communities to inform the OAG's efforts to ensure policy positions, communication, and legal work are community centric.
