What this makes

A card that fits in a wallet.

If someone in your household is detained, the first hour decides what happens to everyone else. This site helps you write down, ahead of time, what another person would need to know.

Free. No account. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Four things you can prepare today

Each one produces paper. Print it, and it works whether or not you ever open this site again.

  • Print in 5 minutes

    Emergency wallet card

    Case number, attorney, local rapid-response line, who collects the children, where the documents are kept. Prints front and back at true card size, on card stock if you have it.

    Ready
  • Worksheet

    Where the papers are

    A paper record of where originals live and who holds copies. Deliberately not stored online — a document vault would be a target.

    In review
  • Three checks

    Warrant at the door

    What a judicial warrant carries that an administrative one does not: a court's name, a judge's signature, and an address. Three things to look for through a closed door.

  • Requires local review

    Change of address filing

    Moving means filing with the immigration court and with USCIS. Missing either can mean missing a hearing notice. Blocked until the forms are vendored and drift detection is running against them.

  • Requires local review

    Caregiver authorisation packet

    Written permission for another adult to collect your children from school, consent to medical care, and act while you cannot. Forms differ by state, so we publish a state only after a legal clinic there has checked it.

What this site will not do

These are deliberate. Naming them is part of being trustworthy.

  • No enforcement sightingsNo maps, no alerts. Unverified reports keep people home from work, school, and clinics.
  • No eligibility screeningYou are never asked your status. Every tool here works for anyone who opens it.
  • No case adviceNothing here tells you whether to file something or what your odds are. That is a lawyer's work.
  • No stored documentsNothing is uploaded or kept. If you need it again, make it again.
