Nadia Sol Ireri Unzueta Carrasco, 29, came to the United States from Mexico City at the age of six and has lived in Chicago ever since. She is an organizer with the Chicago-based Organized Communities Against Deportations and has engaged in ‘numerous protests over U.S. immigration policy. In Mareh 2013, Unzueta Carrasco, who graduated from Whitney Young High School and the University of Ilinois at Chicago, was granted a two-year protection against deportation under the 2012 federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Her application to renew her DACA status was denied in August 2015. In denying Unzueta Carrasco’s DACA renewal, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) cited "public safety concerns" with her case, pointing to her participation in civil disobedience actions between 2009 and 2013. The denial makes note of Unzueta Carrasco being arrested and charged with “civil disobedience, resisting arrest, obstruction of traffic and reckless conduct” in May 2013, shortly after she received DACA status. Unzueta Carrasco, who maintains she was never convicted on the charges she faced for civil disobedience, said the arrest in question involved a May 2013 anti-deportation protest outside a fiindraiser.President Barack Obama was attending in downtown Chicago. “We wanted to bring the number of deportations that his administration Had carried out to his attention, but also to the attention of the general public,” she said of the protesi, which involved blocking traffic on Michigan Avenue with a banner that read, "400,000: Not| More Deportation." Unzueta Carrasco's attorney, Mony Ruiz-Velasco with the Melrose Park-based P.A.S.O. - West Suburban Actidn Project, said her client's past “actions do not meet the definition of a public safety concem under the law." She called the DACA renewal denial "an erroneous decision, both legally and as a matter of discretion.” "Even though we've exhausted every other possibility of raising this within the agency, they have not re- reviewed (her case) to the point of overturning their denial," Ruiz- Velasco said. "We believe she deserves deferred action.”1 P.A.S.O. - West Suburban Action Project and the National Immigrant Justice Center are helping Unzueta Carrasco bring the lawsuit against USCIS in an effort to overtum her DACA rejection. "Hopefully, not only will she be granted DACA, as she should have been from the beginning, but obviously, also, we want this to be made clear within the administration -- that it is not acceptable for activists to be denied deferred action because of their activism," Ruiz-Velasco said. "The very actions she's been taking over the years is exactly what got us DACA to begin with,” Ruiz-Velasco added. "Because if it hadn't been for the actions taken by youth earlier in 2010 and 2011, the administration would not have beeni pushed to issue this directive regarding deferred action for youth in 2012." USCIS declined to comment for this story, citing its policy against discussing pending litigation or individual cases. Unzueta Carrasco, who has not received a deportation notice, plans to formally announce the filing of her lawsuit ata press conference Wednesday morning with her atlomeys and supporters outside USCIS’ Chicago office, 101 W. Congress Parkway. "I want to make sure what's happening to me doesn't happen to anyone else, and that USCIS and President Obama's administration (are) held accountable for these things," she said. "Civil disobedience and actions like the ones I've done are a form of free speech, and we want to make sure that we're defending people's rights to organize and to fight for the rights of their communities."Jaddou, Ur M From: Hyams, Emilie R Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2016 11:46 PM To: Carter, Jeffrey T (eff; Inouye, Shinichi (Shin); Jaddou, Ur M; Busch, Philip B; Allred, Esther R; Alfonso, Angelica M; Wheeler, Shannon L; Neufeld, Donald W; McCament, James W Subject: RE Clip - Progress Illinois: Undocumented Chicago Activist To Sue Federal Immigration ‘Agency Over DACA Denial ‘This was raised earlier today at the DACA WG meetinig w D2, and Angie mentioned having language already prepared that included a similar message to that in shin's drafted language, which D2 agreed should be included Granted, though, it was before we knew we were getting sued.

Citizenship and Immigration Services US. Department of Homeland Security May 25, 2016 RE: Renewal of DACA application denied over participation in peaceful civil disobedience by undocumented youth, Ms. Nadia Sol Ireri Unzueta Dear Secretary Johnson, Deputy Secretary Mayorkas, and Director Rodriguez: We write to you as professors and academic professionals teaching and working in schools, colleges and universities around the country. We are extremely concemed by the denial of the renewal of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) request by Ms. Nadia Sol Ireri Unaueta Carrasco. We fully support Ms. Unzueta Carrasco’s request that DHS reconsider and approve her DACA request. Ms, Unzueta Carrasco is a long time resident of Chicago, Illinois, a graduate of Whitney Young High School and received a Bachelor of Arts degree summa cum laude from the University of tinois at Chicago. She is also a nationally-known immigrant rights organizer who has been at the forefront of fighting for the rights of immigrant students and other vulnerable populations. She currently mentors and teaches public high school students in Chicago. She is precisely the young person meant to receive relief from DACA. ‘The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) justifies its denial of Ms. Unzueta Carrasco’s DACA renewal by citing “public ‘concems” about her participation in peaceful civil disobedience between 2010 and 2013.’ We see this denial as a gross injustice and an affront to freedom of speech and expression to punish a young woman for taking part in peaceful political activity, ‘Among the signers of this letter are historians and scholars who research and write about social change and civil disobedience. We believe that the tactics of non-violent protest must be viewed as acs of conscience with deep links o the foundation of American democracy and the First Amendment. Major advances in civil rights are a direct result of mass civil disobedience where people bravely put their lives on the line to bring attention to unjust laws and policies. Ms. "smal seat by the United Stats Ciienship and tigation Servises (USCIS) Ombudsran dtad Mach 2016 to Ms. Unzueta Cansco's leg couni in response to ioguiis regarding the DACA renewal denial, which ales “The derision tdeny the -821D was natin enor. Ms. \Unmca was ase on May 29,2013, afer her int DACA grant, which was March 20,2013. She wat charged with evil ditobeience, ‘sing amet obstruction of ale, and reckss cont. Adora, USCIS records shows tat she engaged in iil claabediece in Ot 210, uy 2010, Aug. 2011, and Sept 2012. Ms, Lama's as isd publi sey concems and twas ermine deere ection wasnt apo in this case” 10Unzueta Carrasco’s participation in civil disobedience does not make her a public safety ‘concer: rather it exemplifies civic engagement as necessary to ensure immigrant and civil rights in a democracy. Moreover, as edueditors we have seen first-hand how students and young people benefit from participation in actions that use protected speech and civil disobedience to make their case. In ‘Chicago where Ms. Unzueta Carrasco studied and lives, in particular, we have seen our immigrant students lose their fear of sharing their stories, and join with other undocumented students in “coming out of the shadows” events, including the first National Coming Out of the Shadows Day on March 10, 2010.” Through Ms. Unzueta Carrasco's work, along side other young people around the country, undocumented young people have been empowered to make claims for legal status. In fact, it was this kind of protest that produced, at least in part, the ‘conditions under which President Obama instituted DACA in the first place. As one of the first ‘young people to engage in civil disobediences in the years before DACA was implemented, Ms. Unzueta Carrasco and her peers’ acts of civic engagement played an important role in prompting the federal action that led to DACA. Hundreds of thousands of youth have benefited from this policy thanks to her efforts and those of dozens of activists like her, including many of our students. Denying her DACA renewal, policy option she has long-struggled for, precisely because she struggled for it is highly problematic, profoundly unjust, and sets a dangerous precedent. Itis evident to those who know Ms. Unzueta Carrasco, including some of her teachers who have signed this letter that her acts of civil disobedience actions are an expression of her political views on punitive and unfair immigration laws. She seeks to bring about needed social change to improve the treatment of immigrants and other vulnerable populations in the United States. Each arrest mentioned in the email sent by USCIS to Ms. Unzueta Carrasco was in response to her speaking out to defend the rights of her family, immigrant communities or criticizing harmful immigration enforcement practices. DHS's denial sends a message that political expression in support of immigrants’ rights will not be tolerated. As educators whose students have participated in these actions, and benefited from advancements made by the immigrant rights movernent, we ask that USCIS reconsider Ms. Unzueta Carrasco’s DACA application and grant her request to renew DACA. i is letter, and to respond to this request, please contact (b)(6) ‘Thank you, | i i , Lain American and Latino Studies Professor, LALS & Political Science, University of Ilinois at Chicago Eom * umigrat Youth use League, “National Coming xt of te Shadows Day!” February 17,2010, p/w yory/sionahcoming out of: (bostadomdsy/ 11List of Co-Signers 6) 12(b)(6) 13(b)(6) 14(d)(6) 1516(by) 17()(6) 18(b)6) 19(6) 20(b)6) 216) 22(b)6) 23(b)(6) 24(b)6) 25(b)(6) 26(d)(6) 27(b)(6) 28(b)(6) 29(b)(6) 30(06) aa(v6) et(6) 33From: ams.

If the requestor poses a threat to national security, the officer should refer the proposed denial for supervisory review after the case has been processed through the CARRP process; or © Has one or more departures which he/she claims were “brief, casual, and innocent” and therefore are not disruptive of the continuous residence requirement; or © Has not met the educational guideline; or o_ Isin immigration detention at the time of filing Form |-822D and remains in immigration detention; or © Cannot receive prosecutorial discretion because it isnot consistent with the Department of Homeland Security's enforcement priorities. Ifthe convictions and/or arrests occurred before the requestor filed the Form |- 8210 and the requestor did not disclose this derogatory information, include the withholding of the material fact(s] as one of the reasons for not exercising prosecutorial discretion in the case When a DACA request is denied, the denial shall be issued using the Appendix F. In instances where an individual is unable to establish he or she warrants'a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion under this process, and no other checkbox applies except “You have not established that you warrant a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion,” supervisors must refer the case to HASCOPS through the normal chain of command. Before routing the A-file to a supervisor, the officer should place a supervisory hold on the case in C3, After the supervisor concurs with the issuance of a denial, the officer shall check the appropriate box on the denial template and process the cases in the system for denial. See Appendix F for the DACA Denial Template. If the supervisor determines that the case should be approved, process for approval and document the file as appropriate. In novel, complex, or sensitive cases, or cases that require a paragraph denial that are not included in Appendix K, supervisors will refer the case to HASCOPS, through the normal chain of command 154From: Allred, Esther R Sent: Friday, May 20, 2016 4:20 PM To: Robinson, Brandon M Subject: quick DACA Q Hey Brandon - do you know what the policy is for supervisory review on DACA adjudications?

Ifthe requestor poses a threat to national security, the officer should refer the proposed denial for supervisory review after the case has been processed through the CARRP process; or © Has one or more departures which he/she claims were “brief, casual, and innocent” and therefore are not disruptive of the continuous residence requirement; or © Has not met the educational guideline; or Is inimmigration detention at the time of filing Form I-821D and remains in immigration detention; or Cannot receive prosecutorial discretion because it is not consistent with the Department of Homeland Security’s enforcement priorities. ° if the convictions and/or arrests occurred before tlie requestor filed the Form I 821D and the requestor did not disclose this derogatory information, include the withholding of the material fact(s) as one of the reasons for not exercising prosecutorial discretion in the case. When a DACA request is denied, the denial shall be issued using the Appendix F. In instances where an individual is unable to establish he or she warrants a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion under this process, and no other checkbox applies except “Vou have not established that you warrant a favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion,” supervisors must refer the case to HASCOPS through the normal chain of command. Before routing the A-file to a supervisor, the officer should place a supervisory hhold on the case in C3. After the supervisor concurs with the issuance of a denial, the officer shall check the appropriate box on the denial template and process the cases in the system for denial. See Appendix F for the DACA Denial Template. If the supervisor determines that the case should be approved, process for approval and document the file as appropriate. In novel, complex, or sensitive cases, or cases that require a paragraph denial that are not included in Appendix K, supervisors will refer the case to HQSCOPS, through the normal chain of command, 177From: Allred, Esther R Sent: Friday, May 20, 2016 4:20 PM To: Robinson, Brandon M Subject: quick DACA Q Hey Brandon ~ do you know what the policy is for supervisory review on DACA adjudications?

Department of Homeland Security Alexandro Mayorkas, Deputy Secretary U.S. Department of Homeland Security Leén Rodriguez, Director US. Citizenship and Immigration Services US. Department of Homeland Security May 25, 2016 RE: Renewal of DACA application denied over participation in peaceful civil disobedience by undocumented youth, Ms. Nadia Sol Ireri Unzueta Dear Secretary Johnson, Deputy Secretary Mayorkas, and Director Rodriguez: We write to you as professors and academic professionals teaching and working in schools, colleges and universities around the country. We are extremely concerned by the denial of the renewal of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) request by Ms. Nadia Sol Ireri Unzueta Carrasco. We fully support Ms. Unzueta Carrasco’s request that DHS reconsider and approve her DACA request. Ms. Unzueta Carrasco is a long time resident of Chicago, Illinois, a graduate of Whitney Young High School and received a Bachelor of Arts degree summa cum laude from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She is also a nationally-known immigrant rights organizer who has been at the forefront of fighting for the rights of immigrant students and other vulnerable populations. She currently mentors and teaches public high school students in Chicago. She is precisely the young person meant to receive relief from DACA. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) justifies its denial of Ms. Unzueta Carrasco’s DACA renewal by citing “public safety concerns” about her participation in peaceful civil disobedience between 2010-and 2013.’ We see this denial as a gross injustice and an affront to freedom of speech and expression to punish a young woman for taking part in peaceful political activity. Among the signers of this letter are historians and scholars who research and write about social change and civil disobedience. We believe that the tactics of non-violent protest must be viewed as acts of conscience with deep links to the foundation of American democracy and the First Amendment. Major advances in civil rights are a direct result of mass civil disobedience where people bravely put their lives on the line to bring attention to unjust laws and policies. Ms. "smal sent by the United Stats Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Ombudsman dated March 2016 to 8s, Unzueta Carsaco’s legal council in esponse o inquiries regarding the DACA renewal denial, which tates “The decision wo day the HR21D was notin err. Ms Unzveta was arested on May 29,2013, after er intl DACA gran, which was March 20, 2013. She was charged wit civil disobedience, resisting ares, bsrction of tai, and recess conduct. Adcitionaly, USCIS reords shows that she engage in civil disobedience in Oct. 2009, July 2010, Aug 2011, and Sept. 2012. Ms, Unnuea's ease ase public safety concerns and it wa determined deere atin wan appropri in this cae.” 189Unzueta Carrasco’s participation in civil disobedience does not make her a public safety concer; rather it exemplifies civic engagement as necessary to ensure immigrant and civil rights, ina democracy. Moreover, as educators we have seen first-hand how students and young people benefit from participation in actions that use protected speech and civil disobedience to make their case. In Chicago where Ms. Unzueta Carrasco studied and lives, in particular, we have seen our immigrant students lose their fear of sharing their stories, and join with other undocumented students in “coming out of the shadows” events, including the first National Coming Out of the Shadows Day on March 10, 20102 Through Ms. Unzueta Carrasco’s work, along side other young people around the country, undocumented young people have been empowered to make claims for legal status. In fact, it was this kind of protest that produced, at least in part, the conditions under which President Obama instituted DACA in the first place. As one of the first young people to engage in civil disobediences in the years before DACA was implemented, Ms. Unzueta Carrasco and her peers’ acts of civic engagement played an important role in prompting the federal action that led to DACA. Hundreils of thousands of youth have benefited from this policy thanks to her efforts and those of dozens of activists like her, including many of our students, Denying her DACA renewal, a policy option she has long-struggled for, precisely because she struggled for it, is highly problematic, profoundly uinjust, and sets a dangerous precedent. It is evident to those who know Ms. Unzueta Carrasco, including some of her teachers who have signed this letter that her acts of civil disobedience actions are an expression of her political views on punitive and unfair immigration laws. She seeks to bring about needed social change to improve the treatment of immigrants and other vulnerable populations in the United States. Each arrest mentioned in the email sent by USCIS to Ms. Unzueta Carrasco was in response to her speaking out to defend the rights of her family, immigrant communities or criticizing harmful immigration enforcement practices. DHS's denial sends 2 message that political expression in support of immigrants’ rights will not be tolerated. As educators whose students have participated in these actions, and benefited from advancements made by the immigrant rights movement, we ask that USCIS reconsider Ms. Unzueta Carrasco’s DACA application and grant her request to renew DACA. 6) vi should have i i ns about this letter, and to respond to this request, please contact Thank you, i for, Latin m and Latino Studies Professor, LALS & Political Science, University of Illinois at Chicago. | 2 Immigrant Youth Justice League. the-shadows-day ional Coming Out ofthe Shadows Day!” February 17,2010 p/w orpatonal-coming-ou-of 6) 190(6) Professor Emeritus, History and Gender Women’s Studies, University of Hlinois at Chicago = for Conder & Women's Studies, Associate Professor, Gender and Women’s Studies and History, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chairs Tistory University of Illinois at Chicago (Fr Protessor of History, African-American Studies, and Gender and Women’s Studies, Interim Vice Provost for Planning and Programs, University of Ilinois at Chicago ist. of Co-Signers (by) 191192(b)6) 1936) 194(b)(6) 1956) 196(b)6) 197198(b)6) 199(b)(6) 200(b)(6) 201202©)6) 2036) 204(d)(6) 205(b)(6) 206,207(b)(6) 208(by) 209(b)(6) 210211(b)(6) 212Worley, lordan P From: Allred, Esther R Sent: Monday, May 23, 2016 4:59 PM To: ‘Tynan, Natalie S; Robinson, Brandon M; Ooi, Maura M; Vanison, Denise; Arditi, Avi; Neufeld, Donald W; Alfonso, Angelica M; Levine, Laurence D; Smith, Alice J; Padilla, April y Ce: Lyons, Angela R; Umoru, Victoria E; Hinds, lan G; Whitney, Ronald W; Hernandez, Efren; im Thomas, Ronnie D; Woerz, Bret A; Hyams, Emilie R; Melero, Mariela; Ellis, Rachel Hi ‘Anderson, Bertha I: Beppu, Jennifer M; Wheeler, Shannon L; McCament, James W Subject: RE: WG Meeting with 02 Attachments: 5.23.2015 DACA WG Meeting Agenda (D2) final docx Hiall, The consolidated version is attached.
