A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
welcome
to
the
Twin
Cities
immigration
Forum.
This
is
a
meeting
that's
co-hosted
by
the
cities
of
Minneapolis
office
of
immigrant
and
Refugee
Affairs
and
the
city
of
Saint
Paul's
immigrant
Refugee
program.
We
try
to
address
topics
of
interest
and
concerns
to
the
Immigrant
Refugee
residents
and
individuals
and
organizations
that
serve
immigrant
Refugee
communities
in
in
the
Twin
Cities.
This
monthly
series
originated
as
a
way
to
unpack
Federal
immigration
policies,
programs
and
actions
and
news.
A
B
Thanks
so
thanks
Ed
Mundo,
my
name
is
Michelle
Rivero
I'm,
the
director
of
the
office
of
immigrant
and
Refugee
Affairs
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
again
I'll
just
say
it
one
more
time.
Welcome
to
the
Twin
Cities
immigration
forum.
For
the
month
of
May,
this
meeting
is
recorded
and
once
the
recording
is
downloaded,
we
will
make
it
available
on
the
office
of
immigrant
Refugee
Affairs
webpage
and
we'll
also
share
a
link
so
turn
it
back
to
you.
Edmundo.
A
Right,
I
guess
we'll
start
with
recognition
recognitions
for
this
month.
This
month
we
celebrate
Cinco
de
Mayo,
which
passed
last
Friday,
which
recognizes
the
anniversary
of
Mexico's
Victory
against
the
French
forces
of
Napoleon
III
at
the
Battle
of
Puebla
on
May
5th
1862..
We
will
place
in
the
in
our
notes,
as
well
as
in
the
chat,
a
link
to
a
little
note
about
the
historical
significance
of
Cinco
de
Mayo,
why
it's
so
important
to
to
Mexico
any
other
other
recognitions.
This
month,
Michelle
yep.
B
Definitely
so
also
want
to
share
that
May
5th
is,
was
the
national
day
of
awareness
of
missing
and
murdered
indigenous
people
and
we'll
also
share
some
information
about
that
in
the
chat.
In
addition,
the
month
of
May
in
Minnesota
is
American.
Indian
Heritage
Month
also
wanted
to
recognize
that
the
month
of
May
is
Asian
American
native
Hawaiian
and
Pacific
Islander
Heritage
Month.
There
is
a
resolution
before
the
city
council
recently
and
will
also
share
a
link
to
that
and
as
an
indication
of
how
meaningful
May
is
as
a
month
for
recognition.
B
May
is
also
Mental,
Health,
Awareness
Month.
We
also
wanted
to
share
a
little
bit
of
information
in
case
it
was
not
on
your
radar,
even
if
it
was
just
a
recognition
of
a
couple
of
tragedies
and
and
very
difficult
situations
that
took
place
over
the
course
of
the
last
month.
Since
the
last
time
we
met,
there
were
two
mosque
burning
incidents
at
Masjid,
al-rama
and
the
24
Mall
people
may
know
that
the
perpetrator
has
been
charged
with
arson
and
we'll
share
a
little
bit
of
information
about
that.
B
Also
over
the
past
weekend,
there
was
an
incident
in
Texas
where
the
driver
of
an
SUV
slammed
into
a
group
of
people
who
are
waiting
at
a
bus
stop
on
outside
of
a
shelter
that
serves
migrants
in
Brownsville
Texas.
The
people
were
killed
and
at
least
11
others
were
injured.
Some
in
critical
condition,
so
just
wanted
to
share
that
information
with
people
and
then
also
wanted
to
share
a
recognition
of
duraman
Khan
of
Afro
Deli
and
Grill
in
Minnesota
was
a
national.
B
If
it's
okay
to
talk
about,
welcome
core
I
know
that
many
people
are
excited
about
the
announcement
earlier
this
year
on
welcome
core,
which
is
a
pathway
for
in
for
sponsor
groups,
to
welcome
individuals
to
the
United
States
Kathleen
Watson
Becker.
From
and
forgive
me
if
they
mispronounce
your
last
name
from
where
our
light,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
with
us
to
talk
about
this
program
and
local
resources
for
individuals
who
may
be
interested
in
sponsoring.
C
Sure,
thank
you,
Michelle
and
just
I've
got
about
what
about
a
10
minute
window
is
that
is
that
good
for
you,
okay,
I,
do
have
a
lot
of
slides
gosh
as
I.
Look
at
the
folks.
Can
you
see
my
slides
there?
Yes,
yes,
excellent
I
will
put
it
in
presentation
mode,
Michelle
and
edmundo,
as
you
were
talking
and
I
I
know
many
of
the
names
of
the
folks
that
have
dialed
into
the
call.
So
many
of
you
are
already
leaning
in
so
much
on
welcoming
others.
So
thank
you.
C
Some
of
this
might
be
repetitive,
but
for
newcomers
too,
I
want
you
just
to
be
aware
of
this
constellation
of
of
co-workers
of
colleagues
who
are
forming
this
circle
within
our
our
Minnesota
and
Twin
Cities
area.
So
again,
I
am
from
a
light.
We
are
formerly
the
American
Refugee
committee.
We
are
a
global
engine
NGO,
so
we
do
work
around
the
world,
but
it
is
just
so
wonderful
to
be
in
office
in
Northeast
Minneapolis
and
to
do
this
type
of
work
now,
for
the
first
time
domestically
has
been
a
real
honor.
C
We're
doing
this
also
I
just
want
to
recognize
Kelly
from
DHS
has
been
a
real
partner
in
helping
us
put
this
presentation
together.
So
I
really
will
say
a
light
is
just
one
member
of
the
family
of
organizations
in
refugee
resettlement
and
again
broadly
a
light.
What
we
do
I
think
our
mission
says
that
we
want
to
unleash
the
abundance
in
each
and
every
person.
C
How
did
we
get
here
today?
I
just
want
to
chat
for
a
moment
about
some
of
the
programs.
You
might
already
know
so
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
humanitarian
sponsorship
programs
have
really
reinvigorated
some
of
the
Partnerships,
so
we
had
United
for
Ukraine
you
for
you.
We
had
a
particular
process
for
Cuban
Haitians,
nicaraguans
and
Venezuelans.
Both
of
these
Pathways
allowed
Americans
to
directly
sponsor
individuals
and
Families
in
Need
and
again,
you
can
see
their
countries
there
operated
by
the
Department
of
Homeland,
Security
and
USCIS.
C
So
welcome
core:
it's
a
private
public
partnership
launch
to
invite
Americans
to
more
directly
support
refugees
being
resettled
and
I
will
say
those
programs
on
the
last
slide.
They
really
proved
that
the
time
was
right,
that
Americans
are
willing
to
lean
in
and
do
private
sponsorship
they're
across
the
bottom.
Again,
you
can
see
this
constellation
of
organizations
that
have
come
together.
This
is
a
program
from
the
Department
of
State
PRM,
but
again
in
the
small
world
of
refugee
resettlement.
C
C
C
All
of
this
goes
officially
through
the
U.S
Refugee
admissions
program,
and
we
recognize
that
this
program
is
existing
now
because
there
there
had
been
the
backlog
and
there
have
been
people
who
have
been
waiting
in
refugee
camps
overseas.
For
years
their
entire
lifespan
has
been
in
a
refugee
camp
and
they
are
ready
to
find
a
community
that
they
can
call
home.
C
So
lots
of
discussion
about
phase
one
and
phase
two
I
personally
use
the
nickname
in
Phase
One
of
matching
that
was
launched
this
year.
What
the
matching
phase
one
means
is
that
you
will
raise
your
hands
as
an
American
and
say
you
are:
you
are
open
to
being
matched
with
the
refugee
family?
They
have
the
approved
Refugee
resettlement
status.
C
They
will
probably
be
at
the
end
of
their
resettlement
process,
and
you
don't
know
that
family.
You
are
willing
to
raise
your
hand
and
say
I,
don't
know
where
this
person
originate
from
originates
from
or
where
they
currently
live.
But
my
group
is
ready
to
welcome
this
person.
That
is
phase
one
phase.
Two
is
the
naming.
This
will
be
launched
later
in
2023.
Many
people
from
the
diaspora
program
are
very
interested
in
the
naming
portion
of
this
program.
Why?
C
C
So
here's
something
I
want
to
State
very
very
clearly.
If
you
are
more
interested
in
doing
phase
two,
where
you
name
an
individual,
it
is
not
required
that
you
go
through
phase
one.
You
can
wait,
you
can
build
up
your
Reservoir.
You
can
build
up
your
muscle
of
your
group,
but
phase.
One
is
not
a
requirement
for
individuals
to
participate
in
phase
two.
C
What
is
a
light
going
to
do
in
this?
Well,
much
like
we
did
in
the
you
for
you.
We
are
helping
to
publicize
this
program.
We
are
helping
to
organize
others,
and
many
of
you
participated
in
a
weekly
Zoom
calls
with
my
colleague,
Steph
Coney,
but
officially
a
light
has
been
named
a
PSO
private,
sponsor
organization
and
get
ready
for
a
little
bit
of
acronym
soup
as
I
go
through
this,
but
the
community
sponsorship
Hub
has
recognized
and
approved
that
as
a
PSO
we
will
be
a
recruiter.
We
will
help.
C
Others
mobilize
and
then
support
private
sponsor
groups
who
will
be
welcoming
who
will
be
participating
in
welcome
core
as
a
PSO
as
an
organization.
We
have
this
formal
role
that
we
are
going
to
help
you
prepare
and
then
carry
out
core
sponsorship
Services
throughout
this
journey,
but
mostly
will
be
the
cheerleaders
we're
going
to
be
the
ones
trying
to
lasso
every
Rotary
Club
and
every
church
group
between
North
and
South
of
Minnesota
and
even
going
Nationwide.
C
C
This
is
the
group
that
will
actually
sponsor
the
incoming
Refugee,
individual
or
family,
and
what
the
group
is
it's
at
least
five,
individual
American
citizens
or
lawful,
permanent
residents
that
they
raise
their
hand
and
they
say
yes,
we
will
accept
this
responsibility
to
provide
the
core
sponsorship
Services
through
this
program,
now
a
minimum
requirement.
You
have
to
be
18
years
or
older.
C
We
hope
that
you
reside
either
in
or
nearby
the
community
of
resettlement
and
that
you
will
together
work
on
this
program
again
with
guidance
from
a
light
with
guidance
from
many
others
in
the
resettlement
areas,
but
that
this
PSG
will
be
the
first
line
of
of
welcoming-
and
you
know
when
you
think
about.
Oh,
how
am
I
going
to
find
five
folks
to
do
this
with
me.
C
That
PSG
could
be
me
and
my
husband,
it
could
be
Michelle
and
Mundo
and
we'll
grab
one
other
person,
and
that
could
be
our
group
of
five.
You
could
think
about
recruiting
people
from
your
book
club,
your
own
family,
your
church,
your
neighborhood,
once
we
get
rolling
with
this
I
really
do
want
to
be
reaching
out
to
the
local
neighborhood
associations
here
in
the
Twin
Cities.
Because
again,
this
is
what
forms
our
community.
This
is
what
could
form
the
basis
of
our
psgs.
C
So
what's
a
PSG
going
to
do
well,
they'll
be
at
the
airport.
They
want
to
roll
out
the
red
carpet
as
newcomers
come.
They
will
help
either
find
a
initial
housing
that
could
also
be
in
their
own
homes.
They
will
do
everything
to
make
this
Landing
be
as
soft
as
possible,
so
giving
dignity
to
newcomers
by
giving
those
household
supplies
and
then
the
documentations
that
they
will
need.
C
This
is
where
I
would
say
for
a
PSG
you're
going
to
have
to
have
the
patience
to
help
your
new
folks
that
you
are
sponsoring
get
access
to
public
benefits,
help
them
find
the
health
services
enroll,
the
kids
in
school.
If
the
family
doesn't
speak,
English
connect
with
ESG
learning
languages,
just
facilitate
and
get
oriented
to
the
community
overall,
probably
most
importantly,
helping
find
a
job
and
I
think
I
talk
about
this
more
later
in
the
program.
C
But
I
want
to
say
here
that
when
I
did
my
own
training
on
the
welcome
core
website,
I
really
got
some
great
language.
You
know
a
PSG,
you
are
not
adopting
a
family,
you
are
not
hosting
a
family,
you
are
partnering
with
a
family,
and
the
main
goal
of
this
is
that
we
want
that
new
family
to
find
their
own
self-sufficiency
as
soon
as
possible
to
have
their
job
where
they
are
able
to
pay
for
their
own
rent
and
again.
C
So,
like
I
said
you
can
apply
by
coordinating
that
group
of
at
least
five
adults.
There
are
trainings
very
easy
to
access
on
the
welcome
core
page.
There
are
background
checks.
You
will
complete
a
welcome
plan
that
a
light
can
help
you
with
and
then
let's
talk
about
the
financials
for
a
moment,
people
think
oh
I
have
to
be
very
wealthy.
You
know
if
I'm
going
to
host
a
whole
family,
please
don't
think
of
it.
That
way.
C
The
numbers
here
that
have
been
framed
are
per
individual
2,
375
dollars
per
newcomer
being
supported
so
again,
if
you're
thinking
about
being
matched
with
a
family
that
might
be
two
adults
and
two
children
that's
coming
in
at
less
than
ten
thousand
dollars
and
again
you
will
not
be
paying
for
that
totally
out
of
pocket
yourself
if
you
are
not
able
to.
There
are
many
ideas
about
fundraising,
crowdsourcing,
about
putting
together
a
plan
that
you
have
a
fundraising
plan,
either
through
social
media
or
your
own
Networks.
C
Now
the
screening
this
again,
is
why
we
have
very
important
partners
with
welcome
core.
Their
applications
will
be
screened
to
make
sure
that
by
a
trained,
welcome
core
team
member
everything,
all
the
t's
have
been
crossed
and
all
the
eyes
have
been
dotted.
Of
course,
there
will
always
be
questions
come
up
and
that
what
is
what
a
light
is
ready
to
help
you
with
on
the
sidelines,
and
we
are
available
to
help
you
walk
through
this
and
available
to
answer
questions
on
additional
information.
C
C
You
will
be
signing
up
and
doing
your
background
checks
completing
that
online
training.
All
of
this
is
online
attending
a
application
support
session,
developing
that
welcome
plan,
but
then
again
putting
pen
to
paper
and
signing
that
commitment,
form
and
beginning
fundraising
and
submitting
the
application.
C
So
in
conversations
with
DHS,
we
did
want
to
also
flag
some
important
notes
here.
Under
no
circumstances
should
refugees
be
paying
for
this
service
for
these
Services,
all
of
these
cases
are
being
processed
by
USA
rap.
It
is
free
for
all
refugees.
They
do
not
have
to
pay,
and
again
all
of
this
can
be
can
be
articulated
through
our
partners
through
welcome
core
and,
of
course,
our
nearest
resettlement
support
centers.
C
C
You
can
tell
us
two
at
a
light
if
you
suspect
it,
but
again,
the
official
way
is
to
do
it
through
welcome
court,
and
we
would
simply
also
be
sharing
that
information
with
welcome
core
everyone's
going
to
be
vetted,
and
so
they
will
be
vetted
approved
this
application
process.
It
does
take
some
time,
and
so
again
we
really
want
people
to
understand
that
they
won't
be
connected
with
refugees
until
the
the
Seal
of
good
approval
has
been
given
and
again.
C
C
You
know
and
I'll
also
just
say
we
live
in
a
world
of
disinformation,
so
I
want
to
sit
again
say
this
very
very
clearly.
Not
only
do
people
not
need
to
participate
through
that
phase
one
if
they
prefer
to
do
phase
two,
but
under
no
circumstances
should
an
exchange
of
dollars
be
happening
to
expedite
or
to
get
preferential
treatment
on
this
okay
I've
talked
quite
a
bit.
I
gave
a
lot
of
acronyms
I'm
going
to
end
here.
C
C
A
Kathleen
we
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
in
the
chat.
I
I
think
you've
answered
one
of
them.
One
was
do
individuals
who
may
wish
to
sponsor
through
either
phase
need
to
work
through
a
PSG,
and
that
follow-up
question
was:
can
someone
I'm,
assuming
it's
a
light,
help
to
match
an
individual
to
a
PSG.
C
So
let
me
take
the
latter
question.
Yes,
if,
if
you
want
to
be
in
a
PSG-
and
you
don't
know
anyone
in
your
own
Circle,
but
you
want
you're
open
to
jumping
into
a
different
PSG
that
might
need
another
teammate,
we
can
be
a
first
knock
on
our
door
and
see
if
we
can
do
that
type
of
connection.
You
know
once
we
start
doing
more
and
more
of
our
Zoom
welcome
core
101s.
C
C
A
C
Wish
it
had
started
already,
you
know,
I
think
with
everything
we
have
to
monitor
our
expectations.
This
is
a
new
program.
It
is
a
big
program,
so
I
I
just
know
some
of
this.
It
can
be
the
making
of
the
behind
the
scenes
and
everything
as
soon
as
we
get
word
of
phase
two
being
ready
a
light
and
through
forms
like
this,
we
will
alert
you
as
soon
as
possible.
This
is
off
the
record
I.
My
gut
just
tells
me
it's
going
to
be
late
summer.
C
Maybe
early
fall
before
the
phase
two,
but
please
don't
quote
me
on
that.
I
know
we're
being
recorded,
I,
don't
know
the
answer
to
when
phase
two
will
begin,
but
don't
let
that
stop
you
get
that
PSG
situated
go
through
the
training.
You
can
start
your
fundraising
and
then
you
know
inform
welcome
core
that
you
want
to
be
a
phase
two
group,
but
don't
let
that
wait.
Don't
wait
for
the
announcement
because
it
takes
time
to
get
all
your
ducks
in
a
row.
A
D
Thank
you,
you
may
I
had
to
join
a
little
late
and
you
have
addressed
this
already,
but
if
you
just
gave
a
ballpark
of
how
long
it
might
take
for
a
PSG
to
get
organized,
we
have
five
people
and
we
want
to
start,
and
so
how
long
do
you
think
it
will
take
us
before
we
can
get
that
application
submitted
and
then
how
long
does
the
application
screening
process
take?
Sure.
C
You
know
I,
don't
think
I
can
go
back
into
the
slides,
but
that
one
where
I
had
that
linear
yeah
diagram,
you
can
begin
to
get
your
information
online
and
set
Jessica.
I'm
gonna
have
to
say
it's
a
little
bit
on
how
proactive
your
group
wants
to
be
and
to
you
know,
do
the
trainings
I
powered
through
the
trainings
over
two
nights.
I
got
a
little
dizzy
after
the
end
of
it.
You
know
it's
better
to
pace
yourself
out
in
these
little
videos.
C
It's
highly
adaptable
and
you're
able
to
digest
it,
but
you
don't
want
to
do
it
all
one
night.
You
know
you
wanted
to
settle
with
with
you
and
then
how
long
will
your
fundraising
take?
You
don't
have
to
only
raise
the
bare
minimum
if
your
group
wants
to
be
on
fire
and
do
bake
sales
all
summer
for
this
and
raise
20K
fantastic,
you
know
you'd
be
have
even
more
Wind
Beneath
Your
Wings
when
your
family
actually
comes,
and
forgive
me
I
shouldn't
say
your
family.
C
C
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
hold
that
question
for
Kelly,
because
I
also
see
Julie
Iverson
asked
the
duration
of
the
commitment
and
as
I
go
to
Kelly.
For
that
first
question,
let
me
also
say
the
Intensive
PSG
work
is
really
for
the
first
90
days
again.
I
want
to
underscore
self-sufficiency,
for
that
family
is,
is
of
the
utmost
importance,
it's
not
to
say
on
day
91.
You
say
goodbye
to
this
family.
E
Yeah,
of
course,
so
I've
been
answering
some
questions
in
the
chat,
so
hopefully
that's
helpful
in
putting
some
links
there
and
apologies,
because
I
realize
I
also
misinterpreted
one
I
thought
the
matching
question
was
to
refugees
and
I'm
realizing
that's
the
PSG.
So
thanks
for
answering
that
Kathleen,
but
just
to
be
clear
again
so
phase
one
that
we're
currently
in
on
welcome
core.
You
aren't
able
to
identify
the
refugee
individual
that
you
would
want
to
be
matched
with,
and
all
that
matching
is
happening
again
at
the
level
of
Welcome,
core
and
Community
sponsorship.
E
Hub
to
refugees,
currently
I
I
would
say
from
submission
of
an
application
through
the
vetting
to
then
being
matched
with
an
individual
or
a
family.
It
seems
to
be
taking
I
mean
we
just
had
our
first
match
for
the
state
of
Minnesota,
which
is
really
exciting.
So
I
would
say
it's
at
least
probably
three
to
four
months.
E
C
Then
was
there,
another
I
was
just
gonna
say:
wouldn't
it
be
beautiful
Jessica?
If
your
group
is
ready,
get
your
paperwork
in,
wouldn't
be
wonderful.
If
the
children
of
the
the
folks
that
you
are
welcoming
could
start
school,
you
know
next
fall
semester
again.
That
might
be
too
ambitious,
but
wouldn't
that
be
wonderful,
I.
D
C
Nuclear
families,
I
think,
might
be
the
Rarity
in
in
the
in
the
world
that
we
live
in
right
now.
I
believe
that
that
is
open.
There
might
be
some
familiar,
but
you
know
it
could
be
a
a
maybe
an
adult
daughter
coming
with
their
mother-in-law.
I,
don't
know
what
the
composition
of
the
waiting
refugee
families
are
from
welcome
core.
E
E
C
I
would
say:
maybe
you
know
you
are
assigning
a
commitment
form
when
you
get
remember
on
my
linear
thing,
and
you
say
you
sign
a
commitment
form.
You
know
what
you
the
main
goal.
Is
you
want
stability
for
the
family,
that
is,
you
will
be
receiving
so
perhaps
in
the
composition
before
you
get
I'm,
not
sure
I
I'm
a
little
stumped
on
how
to
answer
that
I,
don't
want
to
say
it's
so
rigid
that
there
could
never
be
exceptions
made.
C
E
E
So
sometimes
there
might
be
an
instance
where
a
private
sponsorship
group
breaks
down
and
they're
no
longer
able
to
offer
support
to
that
individual
or
that
family,
so
just
to
just
to
say
that
we
do
have
a
safety
net
built
in
for
that,
where
a
resettlement
agency
would
step
up
and
play
that
role
and
take
over
those
core
those
core
services
for
for
our
family
or
the
individual.
You.
C
Know-
and
that
being
said,
it
doesn't
have
to
only
be
five
people
we
have
seen
compositions.
This
was
more
on
the
you
for
you
program,
but
compositions
of
private
sponsor
groups
who
attend
12
people.
You
get
to
divide
the
love.
You
get
to
divide
the
labor.
If
someone
in
your
group
leans
more
into
financial
management
alongside
the
family,
fantastic,
if
you
have
someone
who
was
a
former
teacher
in
that
maybe
they're
the
ones
helping
enroll
the
school
age,
children
so
again
welcome
core
helps.
You
think
about
the
composition
of
your
PSG.
C
A
Thank
you
both
for
presenting
and
for
answering
all
the
questions.
I'm
really
excited
about
this
program.
I
I
know
that
Michelle
and
I
have
both
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
in
recent
weeks
and
really
excited
for
us
to
to
move
forward
and
and
get
some
some
groups
together
and
and
start
sponsoring
some
some
people.
B
A
A
Right
as
I'm
sure,
most
of
you
have
heard
through
the
news,
the
United
States
Department
of
Homeland
Security
on
April
27th,
announced
a
new
policy
for
reducing
irregular
migration
to
the
United
States.
They
laid
out
some
some
measures
to
really
deter
people
from
trying
to
enter
the
US
and
and
really
tried
to
create
some
legal
Pathways
for
people
to
come
in.
A
So
this
was
all
done
in
anticipation
of
the
end
of
title
42
Health
regulations
that
that
are
due
to
Sunset
today
at
11
59
pm,
and
what
that
means
is
that
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
is
lifting
the
title.
42
regulations
and
they're
going
back
to
what's
known
as
Title
VII
regulations,
which
is
the
regular
immigration
rules.
A
Those
immigration
rules
have
some
very
strict
and
and
some
very
Swift
Provisions
that
allow
the
government
to
remove
people
from
the
United
States
fairly
quickly.
So
what
they've
announced
is
that
people
who
try
to
enter
through
irregular
means
are
going
to
be
returned
to
Mexico
if
they
came
from
Mexico
very
quickly,
they're
going
to
be
removing
not
only
individuals
but
families
and
they're
really
going
to
try
to
have
people
work
through
the
CBP
one
app,
which
was
set
up
for
people
to
request
interviews
to
be
interviewed
to
enter
the
United.
D
B
That
has
been
a
workspace
to
address
concerns
relating
to
newcomers
connecting
people
to
resources
and
resource
providers
to
each
other.
So
one
suggestion
given
all
of
these
new
developments
is,
if
participants
in
this
meeting,
if
people
who
are
watching
afterwards
are
interested
in
kind
of
rolling
up
your
sleeves
and
and
and
connecting
offline
on
addressing
needs
of
newcomers,
please
do
feel
free
to
join
us.
Our
meetings
are
on
Alternate
Wednesdays
at
4
30.
B
You
can
reach
out
to
edmundo
or
myself
Health
to
receive
the
meeting.
Invite
in
addition
to
that,
I
think
it's
important
for
to
state
that
both
cities
of
Minneapolis
and
St
Paul
are
welcoming
cities
and
our
goals
are
to
promote
in
terms
of
our
offices
of
safety,
well-being
and
access
to
opportunity.
For
a
non-us
foreign
community,
members
also
want
to
share
in
the
event
that
you
are
encountering
newcomers
from
the
standpoint
of
City
of
Minneapolis.
We
do
have
a
list
of
resources.
B
That's
been
put
together
in
partnership
with
a
number
of
different
partners
on
information
about
basic
needs,
including
shelter,
Transportation,
food
and
more.
This
resource
information
is
on
the
office
of
immigrant
and
Refugee
Affairs
webpage
and
is
also
available
in
nine
languages
and
I'm
going
to
try
to
cut
and
pieces
into
the
chat,
and
hopefully
the
links
will
appear
for
you.
B
But
we
just
wanted
to
make
sure
to
share
some
information,
given
that
the
the
expiration
of
the
use
of
title
42,
the
public
health
law
that
enabled
border
patrol
agents
to
prevent
people
from
coming
to
the
United
States
and
the
reverting
to
title
eight,
which
is
the
standard
law
that
governs
processing
of
immigrants
to
the
United
States.
What
that
actually
means
and
explain
a
little
bit
about
about
some
of
the
impacts
and
happy
to
answer,
questions
that
people
may
have
today
or
for
others
who
are
engaged
in
this
topic.
B
We
are
anticipating
an
increase
of
arrivals
at
the
southern
border,
at
least
that's
what
Federal
the
federal
government
has
indicated
and
just
are
in
a
situation
where
we
are
engaging
on
what
is
happening
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
connected
with
our
partners,
including
including
all
of
you
as
the
situation
changes,
so
invite
questions,
comments,
thoughts,
people
want
to
share
and
if
I
missed
anything
you'd
wonder
that
you
think
is
very
critical
to
share
with
the
group.
Please
do
children.
A
A
So
you
know
the
the
system
is
is:
is
that
capacity
or
over
capacity?
For
and
there's?
We
are
going
to
continue
to
see
large
numbers
of
people
we
have
seen
as
Michelle
indicated,
we
we
have
seen
large
numbers
of
people
in
the
last
years,
and
everyone
on
this
call
whose
Works
in
this
area
has
seen
a
large
number
of
people.
A
So
there's
a
lot
to
digest
and
I
think
we're
all
still
digesting
it.
There's
been
some
changes
to
the
Asylum
regulations,
they're
they're,
you
know
there's
this
new.
Well,
it's
not
so
new,
but
they've
been
using
it
the
CBP
one
app
and
whether
that
system
is
going
to
work.
Whether
people
are
going
to
have
access
to
legal
counsel
before
these
interviews
when
they
get
an
interview.
What's
the
criteria,
there's
still
a
lot
of
questions
that
are
that
are
kind
of
being
worked
out,
but
you
know
it
all.
B
And
I
do
see
that
there's
a
question
in
the
chat
Kathleen
regarding
when
the
regional
processing
centers
are
opening
and
they
can
share
that.
There
are
regular
updates
from
the
Department
of
Homeland,
Security
and
I'm
just
looking
to
see
if
there's
an
update
on
that
topic
and
I'm,
not
seeing
that
just
yet
we'll
keep
looking
and
and
if
I,
if
I
find
it.
A
B
F
Yeah
and
I
apologize
for
my
appearance:
I've
been
like
home,
getting
over
a
sinus
infection
and
bronchitis,
so
I.
One
thing
that
I
think
is
I,
guess
two
things
to
add.
So,
with
respect
to
the
regulations
to
add
a
little
bit
more
information
for
people
who,
after
these
regulations,
go
into
effect
and
I,
believe
it's
scheduled
for
midnight
tonight.
Is
that
accurate?
Okay?
F
There
are
mechanisms
to
overcome
that
rebuttable
presumption,
but
it's
going
to
be
really
hard
for
people
to
do
that
without
a
lawyer
and
based
on
credible
fear
interview
processing
in
the
past.
My
guess
is
that
most
people
will
not
have
a
lawyer
when
they're
going
through
the
process
to
try
to
rip
out
the
presumption
and
then
with
the
CBP
one
app
just
to
be
aware.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
reported
difficulties
with
people
getting
an
appointment
at
all.
F
Well,
so
it's
been
described
as
Asylum
Ticketmaster
and
there
have
been
a
lot
of
issues
too,
with
facial
recognition,
so
like
particularly
people
with
darker
complexions
or
people
who
are
black,
there's
a
lot
of
difficulties
with
having
the
facial
recognition,
work
for
the
cdp-1
app
and
then
I.
Guess,
like
the
other
thing
too,
and
it
kind
of
related
to
the
comment
and
window
made
with
the
people
who
are
lined
up
to
turn
themselves
in
I.
Think
it's
also
like
really
important
to
recognize
that
people
are
trying
to
do
it.
F
The
right
way,
they're
trying
to
exercise
their
right
to
lawfully
apply
for
Asylum
and
turning
themselves
in.
So
it's
been
a
little
frustrating
for
those
of
us
who
understand
a
lot
to
see
the
narrative
and
the
news
that
it's
sort
of
like
this
is
an
invasion.
It
was
like
no,
it's
not
it's
people
who
have
been
blocked
from
applying
for
Asylum
for
three
years,
who
are
trying
to
line
up
and
turn
themselves
in,
and
do
it
the
right
way.
So
for
what
it's
worth.
B
And
I
just
put
the
regulation
that
Anna's
referencing
in
the
chat,
so
people
have
it
and
have
the
opportunity
to
to
review
it
and
when
I
looked
it
indicated
that
it's
as
yet
unpublished,
even
though
the
unpublished
version
is
available
and
it
looks
like
the
publication
date
is
May
16th.
So
with
regard
to
enforceability,
like
that's
a
question
that
I
don't
have
the
answer
to,
but
you
know
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
in
case
people
are
going
to
the
link
and
I
see
additional
questions
and
comments
in
the
chat,
including
Michael.
B
A
public
data
suggests
that
more
International,
unaccompanied
minors
include
pregnant
teenagers
and
teens
with
newborns.
Is
anyone
aware
of
potential
resources
for
new
students
and
families
in
Minnesota
thanks
so
much
for
that
question,
I,
I,
think
about
on
a
local
level
and
what,
for
example,
Minneapolis
public
school
system
and
St
Paul
public
school
system
resources
that
exist
at
that
level?
B
If
there
are
comments
that
people
have
to
share
on
this
topic
and
then
the
other
question
that
Julie
Iverson
has
asked,
how
does
a
group
such
as
this
move
to
communicate,
Anna's
info
and
other
such
things
to
the
public?
Effectively,
that's
advocacy
campaigns.
So
if
there's
information
that
you
may
like
to
share,
people
are
in
this
group
turn
it
over
to
you.
A
A
A
So
you
know
in
in
the
situations
in
the
in
the
country.
Conditions
that
they're
fleeing
are
are
are
are
are
are
bad
they're,
just
you
know,
they're
they're
situations
that
you
know
most
of
us
would
flee
from
and
trying
to
keep
our
children
and
ourselves
safe.
So
you
know
that
is.
That
is
a
narrative
that
we're
constantly
trying
to
battle
to
to
get
out
and
and
and
and
really
kind
of
address.
Some
of
the
all
the
negative
comments
we
continue
to
hear.
B
Your
comment
and
question
I
will
just
again
repeat
that
the
Wednesday
on
meeting
that
Ed,
Mundo
and
I
co-facilitate
is
a
space
to
address
and
and
collaboratively
work
on
issues
relating
to
newcomers,
including
including
youth,
including
individuals
who
may
be
pregnant
teens
in
teens
with
newborns.
So
would
encourage
you
to
if
you
may
have
capacity
to
join
that
meeting
or
bring
that
topic
to
the
meeting
to
to
join
and
Kathleen
I,
see
something
that
you've
just
put
in
the
chat.
Would
you
like
to
talk
through
that?
C
B
Thank
you
if
there
are
other
questions
or
comments
that
people
want
to
share,
really
appreciate
what
people
have
shared
suggestions
that
you've
made
things
to
think
about.
With
regard
to
this
topic,
there
will
be
more
to
come,
and
so
we
will
be
sharing
more
information
as
it
becomes
available
in
future
forms
and
we'll
also
reach
out
to
this
group
by
email.
If
there
are
a
time
sensitive
situations
to
be
aware
of,
and
windows
are
you
cool
can
I
turn
it
back
to
you.
D
B
That
comments
about
opportunities
to
ask
you
know
to
connect
with
individuals
at
public
events.
It
sounds
like
that
that
may
be
a
suggestion
like
an
opportunity
to
get
to
know
people
individually
so
and
I
also
see
Taya
has
just
jumped
on.
Thank
you.
So
much
Taya
I
think
we
have
a
few
more
immigration
updates
and
then
perhaps
we
can
transition
to
community
updates
and
driver's
license
updates
of
Mojo.
A
Let
me
see
what
else
we've
got
today.
Well,
you
know
with
regard
to
Pearl,
that
was
one
of
the
other
things
that
that
actually
was
was
a
positive
coming
out.
Out
of
all
this
new
policy
was
that
you
know
people
have
been
paroled
into
from
the
border
for
for
a
while
now
for
more
than
a
year,
have
being
paroled
in
from
the
border
for
short
periods
of
time
and
then
come
and
they
apply
for
Asylum
through
we
get
place
and
removed
proceeds
we're
able
to
apply
for
Asylum,
but
they
take
some.
A
You
know
months
to
get
employment
authorization
because
of
the
way
the
process
is
set
up.
Individuals
who
are
going
to
come
in
and
we're
going
to
be
Pro
who
come
in
through
the
CBP
one
app
are
going
to
be
paroled
into
the
United
States,
but
they're
going
to
be
given
a
parole
for
two
years
and
they're
going
to
be
allowed
to
apply
for
employment
authorization
right
away
through
that
parole.
So
that
was
one
of
the
positives
similar
to
this
ukrainians
and
I.
B
B
So
if
you
find
that
useful,
this
references,
the
driver's
license
for
all
law
that
was
passed
in
I,
was
signed
by
the
governor
in
March
and
goes
into
effect
on
October
1st.
So
we'll
put
those
links
into
the
chat
and
we'll
also
share
notes
afterwards,
so
that
people
have
access
to
accurate
information
and
I.
Think
with
that
I
see
that
we
have
taeya
on
and
Dr
fuel
on
as
well.
G
I
could
only
meet
now
because
I
was
at
a
vet,
but
yes,
Green
Card
voices
has,
for
the
past
year,
worked
with
30
newly
arrived
Afghan
use,
who
are
attending
three
public
high
schools
in
the
Twin
Cities
Edison
and
South
High
in
Minneapolis
and
leap
in
Saint,
Paul
and
through
trauma-informed
process.
We
have
documented
their
stories
six
in
English
and
the
rest
in
Dari.
In
Pashto
we
had
worked
with
coaches
to
edit
those
transcripts
and
through
our
editorial
process.
G
We
have
also
omitted
certain
things
that
perhaps
would
put
their
families
in
danger,
but
the
stories
are
extremely
extremely
powerful.
They
depict
their
life
in
Afghanistan
and
how
they
fled,
how
they
lived
in
military
camps
throughout
the
United
States
and
Albania
and
Germany
how
they
then
lived
in
hotels
for
a
few
months
and
then
ultimately
settled
in
their
homes
and
started
their
life
in
the
Twin
Cities.
G
G
and
yeah,
we
had
tremendous
support
from
Minnesota
Department
of
Ed
Michael
I
see
is
here
so
yeah.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
students
are
very
proud.
They've,
been
feeling
really
fortunate
that
they
can
have
a
platform
to
share
their
experiences
and
share
their
voice.
They
feel
that
they
had
not
that
had
that
opportunity
in
the
past.
They
feel
very
fortunate
to
be
part
of
this
project.
B
Thanks
so
much
to
really
grateful
to
have
you
here
as
part
of
the
Minnesota
community
and
the
incredible
work
that
green
card
voices
does
to
ensure
that
newcomer
voices
are
have
a
platform
in
community.
If
you
may
want
to
share
information
about
Green
Card
voices
for
people
who
are
unfamiliar
with
the
organization,
please
do
put
that
in
the
chat
so
that
people
can
explore
a
bit
more
Beyond,
this
specific
Kickstarter
campaign
and-
and
congratulations
for
this.
This
wonderful
work
that
you're
doing
and
happy
to
be
able
to
to
highlight
it.
B
H
H
Okay
yeah:
this
is
a
another,
quite
quite
a
bit
of
staying
my
friend.
If
a
lot
of
people
interested
in
a
lot
of
volunteers.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
okay,
let
me
put
the
microphone
and
we
are
having
a
medical
Legal
Clinic
in
Dakota
Lodge
in
Saint
Paul
for
Latino
or
everybody
else,
is
welcome.
I
made
a
connection
with
African-American
group
and
they're
going
to
publish
it
too.
H
It's
going
to
be
a
wonderful
way
to
have
gonna
have
some
entertainment
with
Zumba
I
got
some
people
to
play
music
and
I'm
gonna
read
some
food
and
I
apparently
have
a
good
time
and
talk
to
people
as
they
come
in,
advise
them
on
medical
legal
issues.
I
have
a
pediatrician
a
lady
who
runs
the
Adolescent
unit
at
the
University
as
promised
to
join
us.
H
H
It
is
an
open
production
from
Quran
on
other
groups,
so
it
it
looks
good,
so
I
just
want
to
invite
everybody
to
come
the
21st
between
11
and
1.,
and
it's
going
to
be
nice
and
fun
and
we're
going
to
provide
some
services
to
our
communities.
We
did
not
establish
contact
with
the
Somali
community.
So
if
there's
anybody
in
the
audience
who
could
forward
the
prior
to
and
we
do
have
audience,
then
we
will
get
interpreters
for
Somali.
We
don't
have
yet
that
lined
up,
but
then
Saturday.
B
Foreign
about
that
so
May
21st
between
11
and
1
p.m,
at
Dakota,
Lodge,
correct!
Yes,
wonderful!
If
you
have
a
flyer,
I
think
I've
seen
the
flyer
we'll
share
with
the
notes.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
possibility
to
copy
and
paste
it
into
the
chat,
but
if
not
just
know
that
we'll
share
it
afterwards.
H
B
Super
and
I
just
want
to
make
a
note
of
the
fact
that
Dr,
Fuel
and
Professor
Acosta
were
shared
information
in
on
an
immigration
focused
story
last
night
on
Kare,
11
and
I
hope,
I
hope,
Dr,
Phil
and
and
Professor
Acosta,
it's
okay,
that
I
put
it
in
the
chat,
the
link
into
the
chat
in
case
people
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
see
it.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
advocacy
and
and
for
being
willing
to
be
on
that
news
program.
B
I
And
I
did
not
tell
you
that
it's
I
I
just
think
it's
you'd
need
to
come
and
visit,
and
we
are
now
our
our
AAUW
women.
We
meet
there
at
the
Gale
mansion
and
it's
a
an
Italian
Renaissance
structure
and
apparently
in
Somalia,
the
well-to-do
people
have
Italian
Renaissance
homes
in
Somalia,
and
so
they
found
it
a
good
mix
but
I
just
think
Michelle.
B
That's
wonderful,
let's
Circle
up
Offline!
That
is
a
really
exciting
development
that
I
was
not
aware
of.
So
thanks,
so
much
Kay
for
sharing
that
are
there
any
other
community
updates
that
people
may
want
to
share
for
the
time
that
that
we
have
left,
oh
and
by
the
way,
Kathleen
is
also
indicating
that
she
would
love
to
present
a
welcome
Court
to
the
AAUW
women
this
summer.
B
B
Okay,
thank
you,
so
I
just
also
want
to
give
a
heads
up
for
an
event
in
June.
June
10th
will
be
the
date
of
the
community
connections
conference,
which
is
an
opportunity
to
learn
about
City
resources,
learn
about
Community
organizations
and
neighborhood
organizations
and
more
that
are
working
in
Minneapolis.
It's
a
great
opportunity
to
connect,
and
there
is
free
food.
B
There
will
be
performances
and
also
wanted
to
share
that
in
recognition
of
immigrant
Heritage
Month
world
Refugee
day
and
Caribbean
American
heritage
month,
which
are
all
recognized
in
the
month
of
June,
there
will
be
a
citizenship
and
immigration
resource
fair
at
the
community
connections
conference.
Again,
that's
on
June,
10th
I.
Think
it's
from
8
30
until
three
and
I'll
just
put
information
into
the
chat
about
the
community
connections
conference
so
that
people
can
learn
more.
C
Kathleen,
just
a
save
the
date,
Saturday
June
17th,
a
light
will
partner
with
TPT
to
show
a
film
about
an
Afghan
woman
who
did
resettle
here
in
Minnesota,
I'll,
get
that
invite
when
it's
set
out
via
Michelle
and
Mundo's
contacts,
so
just
hold
that
date,
Saturday
June
17th
and
lastly,
Kate
just
wanted
to
say.
That's
so
symbolic
that
beautiful
mansion
that
AAUW
it's
right
next
door
to
the
governor's
residence
and
so
isn't
that
wonderful.
That
right.
B
That's
wonderful,
thank
you,
so
edmundo
I
think
I'm
gonna
turn
it
back.
If
there's
I
can't,
if
there's
anything
else
that
you
think
is
important
to
share
today,
gosh
there's
one
last
thing
that
was
on
my
mind
and
now
I
can't
remember
it
but
go
ahead.
If
there's,
if
there's
anything
more
otherwise,
I'll
probably
remember
it.
Just
when
you
say.
Thank
you,
everybody
goodbye.
B
Well,
