Association, MN/Dakotas Chapter - Pro Bono Committee
The U.S. government has increased efforts to repatriate
persons from Southeast Asia (especially Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia) who have
final removal orders, some dating back decades. Until recently, the U.S. could
not enforce the removal orders due to the absence of repatriation agreements
with the various foreign governments. This effort to repatriate is having a
devastating effect on Southeast Asian communities in the U.S. as those who have
remained in limbo for decades have moved on with their lives and established
multiple generations of family relationships, exhibit deep roots in their local
communities, and retain little connection to their home country.
This CLE
will cover the legal and historical context, current repatriation enforcement
activities, legal strategies, family preparedness and local
resources.
