Another Win!! Elier Gets to Stay

from Mohammad Abdollahi, co-founder of DreamActivist.org

This has been a great week, it turns out that the Obama administration is not yet ready to lose the support of the DREAMer community. Yesterday Elier, the 19 year old Ohio DREAM-eligible student we told you about received word that his deferred action request would be granted!

Support DreamActivist and the work we do for students like Elier.

Elier extends a big thank you to the over 5,000 of you who took action, made calls and helped pressure ICE to react positively to his case. This deferred action is going to allow Elier to give back and remain united with his family.

Obama's administration may have given some relief for Ola and Elier, however he is still dragging his feet on countless other deportations of very similar students. Meet Zulma, the mother of a beautiful 4 year old, Reina. Now as a result of an immigration attorney's mistake Zulma is facing a July 2nd deportation to Guatemala. If deported, she will be separated from her family and her 4 year old daughter!

We know the work we do together works, will you help us with Zulma's case?

Thank you for all you are doing to keep our communities safe,
