New updates & guidelines on Deferred Action for DREAM Act-eligible residents are now available
***THE APPLICATION IS NOT OUT YET****
US Citizenship and Immigration Services have released new and more detailed guidelines about the deferred action process. Application fee will be $465 . Application is set to be avaliable August 15th. Keep informed! Good luck y’all.
Some info I heard while on the DHS conference call:
- driving without a license will not disqualify you.
- You will need to prove financial hardship for fee exemption BEFORE you apply.
- Forms are free of charge. DO NOT pay anyone to get you the USCIS forms.
- Applicants granted GED certificates after June 15, 2012 meet the requirements.
- Applicants that are in detention centers already can apply for deferred action through ICE not USCIS

Immigration activists self-deport in order to infiltrate detention center
Viridiana Martinez, a NIYA organizer, put herself in deportation proceedings to infiltrate a detention center in Broward County, South Florida.
Undocumented immigration activists infiltrated an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Southern Florida to conduct an undercover investigation. They claim to have found more than 100 low priority cases of people who, according to recent policies of the Obama administration, should be released.

La Hoops: STOP THESE DEPORTATIONS!
I urge you all to sign, call, share, tweet these petitions and stop the separation of these families. Damnit Obama, where the fuck is the relief and deferred action for these people?! Ugh, you make me sick.

Deporting Africans to keep Israel "pure"
Now, if Iran had done something similar, the western media would have eaten up the story and spread it like wildfire; but oh holy Israel is allowed to deport a rooted family from their home to a place they’ve never even been before all because of their ethnicity? Israel was built by immigrants and refugees; why are they allowed to behave as badly as their tormentors?
