August 15, 2012: Immigrant rights advocates will host free workshops in Detroit, Lansing and Kalamazoo to help educate younger immigrants about the new “DREAM Relief” program and help begin the process of seeking work permits and freedom from prosecution. Lawyers and other community volunteers will be on hand to lay the ground work needed to move through the process.
The workshops will take place the first day the federal government will accept applications from undocumented youth for a temporary work permit and protection from deportation for two years.
