Los problemas de inmigración siguen creciendo en nuestra ciudad y otras ciudades aledañas y su mejor recurso para mantener la seguridad de su familia es estar preparado y conocer sus derechos. Recientemente hemos visto incremento en redadas y tácticas de intimidación departe del departamento de inmigración, al igual que vemos gente que no está preparada para defenderse cuando se les presenta un problema como estos. Usted debe saber que “la migra” no tiene derecho de aparecerse en la escuela de sus hijos a cuestionarlo, ni de entrar a su casa, ni mucho menos obligarlo a decir que usted es indocumentado. Debe estar preparado para saber que decir si lo cuestionan, si lo arrestan o si tocan la puerta de su casa
.
La organización One Michigan lo invita a que venga con su familia para aprender cuáles son sus derechos y que debe hacer en caso de tener un encuentro con la policía o los oficiales de inmigración. Explicaremos lo que debe hacer en diferentes situaciones como una redada de su hogar, de su trabajo o un cuestionamiento en una parada de tráfico. También le hablaremos de los pasos que debe tomar para preparar a su familia para cualquier situación relacionada con inmigración y responderemos sus preguntas sobre asuntos específicos. No falte el próximo Miercoles 3 de Agosto a las 7:30 PM y el Domingo 7 de Agosto a la 1:30 PM en el basement de la iglesia de Todos los Santos. En One Michigan seguimos comprometidos a trabajar por nuestra comunidad y esperamos contar con su presencia y apoyo.

Local Student Testifies in First Ever Senate DREAM Act Hearing
Student recently was granted deferred action and DREAM Act is only hope to fix status
Washington D.C, 6/28/2011- Ola Kaso, a recent graduate of Cousino High School in Warren, MI will testify in the first ever Senate committee hearing on the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act would allow undocumented students a path to citizenship through 2 years of college or military service. Students would have to have arrived before the age of 16, been here for 5 consistent years, have no criminal history, and have a high school degree or GED.
Ola Kaso recently faced deportation back to Albania. She came to the United States when she was four years old. Due to negligence of Ola and her mother’s attorney, Ola and her mother both faced deportation to a country they no longer considered home.
With the support of One Michigan, a youth and immigrant led organization advocating for immigrant rights, Ola was granted deferred status. During this campaign to stop her deportation, One Michigan with the help of the Kaso family was able to collect over 10,000 signatures.
Ola was granted deferred action which means her deportation is delayed for another year. The only true hope for Ola is the passage of the DREAM Act “Every time we see a student like Ola with a 4.4 grade point average, we are reminded of the need for the DREAM Act. That is why this hearing is so important. The DREAM Act needs to be a legislative priority as we continue to see students like Ola facing deportation.” states Dayanna Rebolledo, lead organizer of One Michigan.
WHEN: Tuesday, June 28 2011 10:00 AM CSPAN
WHERE: Senate Immigration Sub-Committee Washington D.C
WHAT: Senate Hearing on DREAM Act
