When immigration enforcement happens, panic spreads quickly. Information does not.

Navigate MN exists to change that imbalance.

Their work focuses on preparedness, rapid response, and legal navigation so immigrant communities are not left guessing what to do in moments of fear. Rather than reacting after harm occurs, Navigate MN helps people understand their options before decisions are forced on them.

What Navigate MN Does

Navigate MN operates at the intersection of education, coordination, and real-time response.

  • Rapid Response Support
    Helping communities respond to enforcement activity with accurate, verified information.

  • Legal Navigation
    Connecting individuals and families to trusted legal resources.

  • Preparedness Education
    Supporting communities in planning ahead rather than reacting in crisis.

Why Preparedness Is Protective

Many of the most harmful outcomes in immigration enforcement happen in the first few moments: doors opened, questions answered, papers signed.

Preparedness slows that process down. It gives people time to pause, seek advice, and decide how to proceed.

Why This Matters for Consent Culture

Consent cannot exist in panic.

Navigate MN’s work restores the conditions needed for informed choice by ensuring people are not forced to make decisions in isolation or ignorance.

A Bridge Between Systems and People

Navigate MN does not replace legal services. It makes them reachable. Their role is connective, helping people move from fear toward informed action.
