Deportation Guide: questions answered

from Mohammad Abdollahi, co-founder of DreamActivist.org

We have exciting news!

For the past several months, along with the Asian Law Caucus and Educators for Fair Consideration, we have been working on a project that will help you and your friends. We know you get e-mails from us all the time about youth facing deportation and actions to take to help keep them here. Many of you respond to us asking how we do it and what you can do to help someone in a similar situation.

Well we hope we can make that an easier process for everyone, we have created a really useful guide titled, "Education Not Deportation: A guide for undocumented youth in removal proceedings." This guide is meant to serve both youth facing deportation and their attorneys.

This does not mean we are not going to help you out with your case, we still urge you to reach out to us if you or someone you know is facing deportation. We just hope this guide will help answer some questions you might have and if you choose to go at it with your own support team, a framework as to how you can do it.

We know not everyone is in touch with someone in deportation so another helpful action you can take is to demand President Obama take action and defer the deportation of all DREAM-eligible youth. Please pass the petition onto your friends.

Thank you,
