Casa trains Hispanics how to interact with police

If the police ask where you are from, even if they seem friendly, do not tell them.

Tell them your name, but nothing else.
Sign nothing without an attorney.

Demand to see warrants before opening doors.

Above all, do not give police false documents, and never lie to them.

That’s the message Hispanics received from senior officials of Casa de Maryland in Frederick on Saturday.

The Silver Spring-based organization, whose ‘‘primary mission is to work with the community to improve the quality of life and fight for equal treatment and full access to resources and opportunities for low-income Latinos and their families,” according to its Web site, came to Frederick to continue its campaign against a four-month-old deportation program.
