Students will help workers fill out requests for deferred action and employment authorization based on eligibility for the Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement (DALE) program. DALE is a form of temporary immigration relief available to undocumented workers who cooperate with the U.S. Department of Labor in investigations into abusive employer practices. DALE can help individuals obtain protection from deportation, as well as authorization to work legally, for a period of four years. Students who volunteer at the clinic are invited to stay for a community barbecue after the clinic.
