The Latino Coalition of San Benito County hosted a session with more than 30 community members who heard about their rights from two immigration lawyers.
It was held in Spanish on Dec. 20 at the Strada Verde Information Center near downtown Hollister. It featured attorneys Lizett Rodriguez Peña and Blanca Zarazúa. Attendees were given a red card by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center outlining their constitutional rights in English and Spanish.
