¡Happy Easter Monday to those who celebrate!

For the last three months, I’ve really been focusing on my various hobbies. I have several, including bracelet-making and painting with watercolors. They help me unwind and work on mindfulness.

Why am I trying to be so intentional about that? Honestly, the thought that we still have four years of this administration is terrifying — for our immigrant community, our environment, our civil rights. 

So a question for you: How do you take care of your mental health? What hobbies do you have that help you stay grounded? Reply back to this email and let me know.

Have a good week.

During a virtual press conference last week, the Nevada Immigration Coalition (NIC) warned of increased ICE activity in Southern Nevada and announced that local residents could expect to see at least 100 ICE agents in Las Vegas in the coming days. They cautioned that officers could show up in plainclothes and unmarked cars, making arrests without disclosing the reason for the detainment.

Speakers stressed the importance of mutual aid and being vigilant. Immigration attorneys advised community members to stay calm and prepared by understanding their rights as Nevadans. They encouraged residents to exercise their right to remain silent, to share their names if stopped by ICE, but to refrain from disclosing background information.
