YOU ARE INVITED

Going Away Celebration

Please join us in celebrating the outstanding contributions of Andrés Leopoldo Pacheco Sanfuentes & Ana María Fores Tamayo to the immigrant cause, and if you are in the area, come to say "GoodBye" personally as they embark on their next journey.

Andrés became ODIS Executive Director in 2018, and together with his wife Ana - Executive Director of Refugee Support Network (RSN, https://www.refugeesupport.net) - has been assisting, advocating for, and providing legal assistance to immigrant families in North Texas for over 20 years.

They're moving to St. Paul, MN next month but will remain involved with ODIS as they continue their mission in their new hometown.

Ana has recently become our first Fully Accredited Department of Justice Representative, which means she can represent clients in Immigration Court. As the RSN Executive Director, she leads a Pro Se Asylum Clinic hosted by ODIS, and she will leverage her experience as ODIS enters this legal practice area, critically needed at the present time.

EVENT DETAILS:

Undocumented wage theft victims are entitled to DALE - Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement, and potentially U-Visa’s for victims of crimes.
WAGE THEFT IS A FEDERAL CRIME!

BUT!!!

How are they to get justice and a oath to citizenship if the state of Texas doesn’t process their claims, de facto conniving with criminals?
