Let's Defrost

    The Defrost app is such a way to inform immigrants with the legal information they need to know. With everything going on in society today, immigrants have what seems like a target on their forehead. Although I have friends who are not yet U.S citizens, I had no idea what the deportation process consisted of. I didn't even know about the cost or time it takes in order to become a citizen. With this app, there are many ways a person can get in touch with a lawyer, or just know the outline basis of becoming a citizen.
     Another thing I liked most about this app was the section with news and updates. This section is really important because like said before, there are many biased websites and posts that may come across as true, but do not portray what is actually happening in the world for those who are undocumented. With this app, they can find factual events to not only be aware of, but also attend. Today, I was informed about the "Day Without Immigrants" march that is taking place downtown. This would've been a great event to include in the upcoming events section. For those who would like to get involved and help the immigrants in Tennessee, this would've been a great to spread the word.
The most important thing to take from this app is the "Your Rights" section. Since this is an app, it makes it easier to open from a cellular device just incase they are stopped by the police. This section tells in specific details what to do in case of this confrontation with the law. Many of those who are illegal do not know they have rights even though they are not citizens. Many of them think that they have to obey what the cop or ICE officer says.
    Since this app is not particular for just Hispanics but for all immigrants, I would just wonder if this app will be in different languages and not just in English? It would be helpful to include those who are not native English speakers. Also, with the organization such as Latino Memphis, I understand this is important for those of Hispanic decent, but what about the organizations of those immigrants who are not from a Hispanic decent. I think it would be helpful to include other organizations that will be helpful to their needs. Adding material that will be beneficial for all instead of just Hispanics/latinos would make those immigrants feel as if they are included as well.
