The TU Legal Clinic recently hosted a workshop to assist 60 Afghan evacuees in extending their valid immigration status. These individuals resettled in Tulsa after fleeing from the Taliban takeover in August 2021 and now face the risk of being deemed "deportable" once their humanitarian parole status expires in the next 90 days. 📃 TU's College of Law will be organizing similar workshops over the next couple of months to help hundreds of additional Afghan evacuees stay in the U.S. ➡️ This workshop illustrates the incredible legacy that Immigrant Rights Project Founder Professor Elizabeth McCormick left when she passed away last week. 🗣️ Attorney and Project 850 Legal Fellow Matt Flynn says: “The prospect of danger they faced in Afghanistan has now followed many of them to the U.S., as they face the possibility of being forcibly returned there." #utulsa #tulsa #immigrantrights #immigration #legalaid #law #lawschool
