A panel discussion forum that will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union will discuss the rights of immigrants, especially designated Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients.

The forum, “What Are the Legal Rights of Immigrants,” will be hosted by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and Hispanic and Latinx Affairs. DACA recipients are students who receive administrative relief from being deported and are given opportunities to receive an education. Discussion topics will include proper ways to address hate incidents and the resources available for students at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University.

“[DACA, undocumented immigrants and Muslim immigrants] are both marginalized and targeted,” said Liz Mendez-Shannon, project director for Hispanic/Latinx Affairs and Office of the Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion. “[DACA and Muslim immigrant students] have to support each other.”

Mendez-Shannon stressed the importance of undocumented immigrants understanding their rights and not being afraid when they come in contact with law enforcement.

“Everyone can attend and participate,” Mendez-Shannon said.” It’s all about knowing your rights.”

The panel will feature Sonia Reyes-Snyder, executive officer from the Office of Latino Affairs and the state of Iowa’s Department of Human Rights; Ann Naffier, immigration attorney for Justice For Our Neighbors; Sandra Sanchez from American Friends Service Committee; Sandra Zapata from One Iowa; and Rita Bettis from American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa.

The panel correlates with the “What Are Your Rights” discussion, which took place Monday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union and covered Islamophobia in the United States and the rights of Muslim immigrants.
