Estefania got involved with the ACLU because she witnessed, first hand, how we treat immigrants in Idaho. Her path led her to strengthen the ACLU in North Idaho and make changes on the political front.

ACLU of Idaho Statement on President Obama’s Immigration Executive Actions Announcement

On Thursday, November 20th, President Obama announced a package of executive actions to provide temporary reprieve from deportation to a limited number of immigrants living in the country.  The ACLU of Idaho welcomes this good news as a step in the right direction in addressing the plight of immigrant families caught in a political fiasco and broken immigration system. The temporary relief is a significant advancement towards affirming the civil liberties of immigrants.  Immigrants that will qualify can now breathe a sigh of relief, as the threat of possible deportation is cast aside.
