LA Times: U.S. to Allow Some Immigrant Deportees to Return Under Settlement

LA Times: U.S. to Allow Some Immigrant Deportees to Return Under Settlement 

The Los Angeles Times reports on a settlement agreement in an ACLU lawsuit alleging that federal agents use intimidation, threats, and misinformation to persuade undocumented immigrants to agree to voluntary departure. In the settlement, federal officials did not admit any wrongdoing but agreed not to use threats and intimidation against immigrants facing possible deportation, and will allow some (perhaps thousands) with ties to Southern California to return.


If you or someone you know departed the United States because of intimidation, threats, or misinformation from federal immigration officials, you may be able to return to the United States and appear before an immigration judge.

If you think this applies to you or someone you know, please contact an immigration attorney for additional information. Our office will provide a brief free consultation for anyone who believes they may have been affected by this settlement.
