Western State Gives Back at DACA Clinic


DACA_2

On November 10th, Western State students, alumni and staff teamed up to provide critical legal assistance at a free immigration law clinic held at the Western State campus. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) clinic provided legal consultations and assistance to individuals who may be eligible for temporary relief from deportation and a two-year permit, pursuant to the Obama Administration’s recent immigration policy intended to benefit certain young people who came to the country as children and have attended or are currently enrolled in school.  The clinic was sponsored by the Orange County DREAM Team in collaboration with a coalition of law schools and non-profit organizations, including the Western State College of Law Immigration Clinic, UC Irvine School of Law, Public Law Center, Asian Pacific American Legal Center, and American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California.  The event, held on Saturday, November 10, provided direct assistance to over 80 individuals.
