Red cards and constitutional rights, Idaho Hispanic Foundation answers immigration questions

NAMPA, Idaho — “You know, there is a lot of fear, nervousness, [and] anxiety just because there’s a lot of information out there, and it’s not always the most accurate information,” says Mari Ramos, Executive Director of the Idaho Hispanic Foundation. The non-profit foundation has been helping families and the Hispanic community in Idaho since 2018.

Reports of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sweeps in large U.S. cities are growing, spurred by President Donald Trump’s executive order to deport immigrants who are in the country without legal authorization.

Ramos, who fields questions daily at the Idaho Hispanic Foundation in Nampa, says concern about such raids taking place in Southern Idaho is coming to the forefront of her day-to-day.

“It seems to be people don’t know what to believe [and] don’t know what is true, what is accurate, [and] what is not,” she explains. “There’s footage that may not even be from here, but it is portrayed like it’s from here. So there’s a lot of nervousness and fear of what could be happening.”

Ramos says that lack of clarity is causing nervousness throughout Treasure Valley. “And this isn’t just our undocumented community. We have people who have residences who are asking people who are citizens [because] they were born here but maybe their parents weren’t.”

These concerns come after President Trump passed another executive order to end birthright citizenship, a move that’s already being met with legal challenges from multiple states attorneys general.

To help clarify the situation, the Idaho Hispanic Foundation provides interested individuals with a list of Spanish-speaking lawyers. In addition to that, they are constantly seeking input from immigration consultants to ensure the latest information is accurate.

“We have these red cards. They are the ‘Know Your Rights” cards and they are available [to] anybody.”

The cards in question include info in both Spanish and English that provides people with their constitutional rights if someone is questioned by ICE.

The Center will also be hosting events to help people in need if their family members are detained. In the meantime, the foundation is collecting contributions to help anyone with immigration issues.

“What we are doing is raising funds to be able to help anybody who needs [it]. When we get to those kinds of things [like when a] husband is deported— now the wife is having to figure [everything] out, that’s where we are gonna come in wrap our services around whoever it is that needs it,” concluded Ramos.

Check out Idaho’s newest license plate — with a patriotic flair (and no potatoes) – East Idaho News

BOISE (Idaho Statesman) — Idaho drivers wanting to celebrate America’s anniversary this year now have a unique way to do that. The Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles has released an America 250 license plate to mark the occasion.

The new license plate includes an American flag on a blue background with the words “America 250” and the dates “1776 – 2026.”

The plate requires an extra fee that will go toward supporting the Idaho Heritage Trust, according to an Idaho Transportation Department news release. The specific fee wasn’t listed.

“This plate gives Idahoans a chance to mark a historic milestone and show their pride on the road,” said Lisa McClellan, DMV administrator, in a statement. “We’re proud to offer a design that honors our country’s past while supporting Idaho’s efforts to preserve its own history.”

Idaho’s favorite license plate

The new license plate may give Idaho’s favorite a run for its money.

The Idaho Transportation Department recently held a “Battle of the Plates” vote to find out which license plate Idahoans loved best.

The Forests Forever plate was crowned the champion on April 7. Funds generated from this plate go toward Idaho replanting and reforestation projects, as well as environmental education programs for Idaho students and teachers.

“One of Idaho’s newest plates, Forests Forever made a strong run and came out on top, highlighting just how much Idahoans value our forests and natural resources,” the transportation department said in a social media post.
