Austin attorney shares safe response tactics for local immigrants

An Austin-based law firm recently held an informational session at the San Marcos Public Library in order to teach residents here about what rights immigrants have when dealing with law enforcement officials.

Josue Teniente, an attorney at Lincoln-Goldfinch Law, in collaboration with Community Action, Inc., gave a presentation in both Spanish and English, then held a question and answer session at the end where he provided free, private consultations to anyone with additional questions.

Teniente said it is important to know that everyone has certain rights in the United States regardless of their immigration status.
