04/08/2008: "Lecture: "Immigrants: Due Process Under the Law""

The San Juan Island Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington is pleased to sponsor a public presentation by Mr Matt Adams, the Legal Director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, titled "Immigrants: Due Process Under the Law".

The presentation will be followed by a town hall discussion. This free educational forum is to be held at the Skagit Valley College-San Juan Center on April 13, 2008, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

The presentation by Mr. Adams will address the lack of due process afforded to persons in removal proceedings, in particular the lack of legal representation, the exponential growth in the numbers of persons who are detained, and the rights of individuals who are approached or stopped by immigration authorities. The event is cosponsored by the Bill of Rights Defense Committee.

Please contact Roger DeRoos at 378-6323 for additional information.
