STANDING UP FOR DIGNITY AND WELCOME

The year 2017 brought enormous challenges. Anti-immigrant campaign sentiment Board of Directors – 2017 led to policies grounded in exclusionism, racism, and fear. Throughout the year, we joined you and other allies to stand up against echoes of the era of the Know- Enrique Vazquez, President Nothings, and to welcome and to defend the dignity of all immigrants and refugees. The fight began in the first week of the new administration, with thethree Adam Yang, Vice President immigration executive orders. The first Muslim ban stranded a four-year-old refugee child in an airport in Uganda. Her mother and two older sisters were here Irma Marquez Trapero, Secretary in Minnesota. We stood up and fought to reunite that family, and for thousands similarly, summarily excluded by the stroke of a pen. That first victory was part of a Grant Ostler, Treasurer nationwide struggle that still continues. Tinzing Artmann Representing dwindling numbers of refugees allowed into the United States, as well as whipsawed DACA recipients is also part of that struggle. So is signing on to Sharon Jacks, amicus briefs in court challenges to these new repressive policies. The struggle for Founding Board Member (Emeritus) immigration justice took us to church basements, crisis-line phone intakes, county jails and detained deportation court, the offices of federal, state, and local elected William Mahlum, officials, to business and agricultural leaders, and to forums and meetings in every Founding Board Member (Emeritus) corner of the state. Linda O’Malley In the midst of this year of unprecedented attacks on the immigrant and refugee communities, I have felt unwavering support from you and the broader community. Marta Pereira From our amazing pro bono attorneys calling us to ask for more cases, to the small businesses of Restaurants Rising raising support, to every individual who donates or Sandra Rathod responds to our Action Alerts, your efforts have never failed, and have only grown stronger. I feel your support wherever I go and that support sustains all of us every Rodolfo Rodriguez day. Maya Salah Every school, community, and faith group that invites us to learn more deeply about the importance of immigrants is standing up for justice and building welcome. Gregory Schultz Every person who commits to visiting, emailing, and calling elected officials is delivering a message clearly held by the majority: that we need to reform our laws to Maha Tahiri build permanency and paths to citizenship for DREAMers, their parents, TPS and DED holders, and others―not build walls or arrest parents and separate families. These times that we are living are not the ones any of us expected orwould have ever wished on our most bitter rival. Nevertheless, very early on after the election I realized that we are exactly who these times demand to serve, to resist, to educate those who’ve been misled by fear and mistruths. We must gather ourselves to protect, empower, and fight like hell for each person, family, community, and targeted religion. Thank you to each and every person who has offered support, whether through volunteering, donating, sharing our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram posts, or simply through a call or a hug. We will continue to stand strong throughout the days and months ahead. Together, we will win. Together we will build a more welcoming Minnesota and United States.

ADVOCACY ILCM supports comprehensive immigration reform that respects the fundamental human rights of immigrants and refugees, recognizes the needs of our economy, and protects security. Comprehensive immigration reform requires Congressional action, which is a long-term goal. In the short-term, we work for state legislation and administrative remedies, such as improved access to health care and drivers licenses. ILCM’s advocacy activities, overseen by the Executive Director and the Board of Directors, include work directly with government officials, communities, coalitions, labor unions, religious Latin America and organizations, professional groups, and grassroots and immigrant the Caribbean and refugee organizations. In 2017, we faced a new anti-immigrant agenda in Washington. 57% That started with the Muslim and refugee bans in January and continued through the attempted rescission of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in September, with continuous regulatory moves targeting not only prospective immigrants but also permanent legal residents.

Growing up without a home or country, Eh Mwee knew she wanted both―and more. Refugees were restricted to the camp, not allowed to live or work outside the camp, and always considered illegal in the rest of the country. Their choices are to live and die inside the camp, to win resettlement in a third country, or to return to their home country. People of Karen and Karenni ethnicities still face persecution in Burma, so return was not an option. Eh Mwee wanted more than a life behind fences. She wanted an education, a real home, even a car. She decided to seek resettlement. Waiting to turn 18, when she could apply for resettlement, she finished high school and studied English in the camp. Along with 250 others, she applied for one of 20 spots in the English Immersion Program, and got into the 10-month program. Getting permission to come to the United States took years.

Rising to the Challenge Our country fundamentally changed during 2016, with a vitriolic political campaign season stoking hostility toward immigrants. That poses a challenge to all of us who care about immigrants and refugees and believe in their essential place in this country. Immigrants and refugees contribute work, energy, and imagination to their chosen country. They are entrepreneurs, taxpayers, and consumers. Their economic importance grows every year as U.S. baby boomers retire, increasing labor demand and the need for more workers to contribute to social security and to maintain the social safety net for all of us. Yet their safety and status in the United States are threatened by the rise of anti-immigrant politicians and sentiment. We need to rise to the challenge, to be the best of America, not the worst. We need to fight to turn the tide of hate. This is a task that will take years and all of us. Rising to the challenge means coming together, working together, sharing the struggle and supporting one another. The struggle takes many forms. We invite you to join us by: • Subscribing to ILCM Action Alerts Subscribers get a notice about each new issue that ILCM highlights, and suggestions on which officials to call or email about the issue. • Following us on Facebook Click “Like” and watch your Facebook feed for the latest on immigration and ILCM. • Volunteering at ILCM We need lawyers and photographers, file clerks and legal assistants, law students and writers — and that’s just a beginning. • Donating Support our work with a regular monthly contribution or a one-time gift.

THE IMMIGRANT LAW CENTER OF MINNESOTA is a unique nonprofit 501(c)3 organization; in addition to providing high-quality legal services to low-income immigrants and refugees in Minnesota, ILCM educates immigrant and non-immigrant communities about immigration matters, and is a leader in legislative advocacy.
