A New Path: A Guide to the Challenges and Opportunities After Deportation

Dear community,

Deportation can be a traumatic process very similar to reentry after prison. Both incarcerated people and detained people have been taken from their communities, deprived of their liberty and returned to places that may no longer be familiar to them. Deportation guidance is reentry support.

As such, I’m thrilled to share with you the fully updated 2026 deportation guide, A New Path: A Guide to the Challenges And Opportunities After Deportation

It includes information on:

• Preparing for possible deportation
• How to oppose your removal
• What to expect during detention and deportation
• Reestablishing your life in your new country
• BRAND NEW CHAPTER: Deportation to Venezuela
• Updated and expanded chapters on deportation to Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala

The Spanish version will be released next week. Please share this resource widely!

Best regards,

Lee Ragsdale
