IMPORTANT NOTE TO IMMIGRANT ADVOCATES – From Jacki Esposito at the New York Immigration Coalition: If you know congregants/community members in the following circumstances, they need to be brought to ICE ERO Headquarters? attention right away so they can begin to process them for deferred action: 1. Individuals who qualify for the new deferred action policy and currently have voluntary departure orders; 2. Individuals who have already received PD but now qualify for deferred action. Please email jesposito@thenyic.org about these individuals ASAP, so we can bring them to ICE?s attention.
