As students return to City College for the fall semester, some undocumented students will face the decision of whether or not to register with the U.S. Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services as part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Announced in an executive order by the Obama Administration on June 15, Deferred Action is a change in immigration policy enforcement that promises some undocumented students and military personnel they won’t be deported for at least the next two years—providing they register with USCIS, have no major criminal record and meet additional requirements outlined by USCIS.
To assist students facing that choice, two workshops will be held near the college including one Sept. 18 in the Cultural Awareness Center at 10:30 a.m. that will feature undocumented law school graduate Sergio Garcia. The event will also feature a Deferred Action workshop at 12:30 p.m.
Additionally, the Association of Raza Educators will held a discussion led by attorney Santiago Avila-Gomez at C.K. McClatchy High School on Sept. 14 from 6-8 p.m.
Both events are open to the public and free.

She mentioned the Mexican Consulate in Sacramento, which has run workshops to help people apply—regardless of country of origin—according to their website.
