Department of Homeland Security



A class action lawsuit has been filed against Attorney General John Ashcroft and Secretary Tom Ridge, head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on behalf of thousands of immigrants who were denied proof of status. The suit alleges that DHS offices nationwide consistently reject lawful permanent residents' requests for documentation of their LPR.

According to the plaintiff's attorney, "the people filing this lawsuit are here legally. These plaintiffs have been granted lawful permanent resident status by federal immigration judges; they have the right to be here. But, because of the illegal conduct of the government, they have been deprived of all the benefits that flow from their status -- including, most importantly, the right to work."
