SAVE THE DATE: COMMUNITY FORUM ON IMMIGRATION
Saturday, September 10, 2011, Benito Juarez High School in Chicago, 1450-1510 W Cermak Rd. Chicago,
DHS Announcement on Deportations:
What does it mean for my family and community?
Advocates, attorneys, immigrants and interested members of the public welcome
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on August 18, 2011, the creation of a working group that will review on a case-by-case basis the 300,000 pending deportations and take individuals who are not criminals and have important ties to the United States out of the deportation pipeline. The working group will also prevent low priority cases from entering the deportation system in the future.
This DHS announcement is a tremendous victory for all of us who have worked so hard to protect families, children and DREAM-eligible individuals from aggressive enforcement practices and for balance in our nation's deportation policies. This forum will help to ensure the community is well informed about the deportation policy change so that we maximize the number of individuals who will benefit and minimize the number who fall prey to bad actor "notarios" and scam artists who misrepresent the DHS announcement for profit.
