Executive Action

Community Information Sessions

The Emerald Isle Immigration Center, in partnership with the Aisling Irish Community Center, the New York Consulate and the New York Irish Center hosted two major community information sessions in New York earlier this year. The first took place at St Barnabas Parish on Thursday, March 9th, 2017 and the second was held at the NY Irish Center on Tuesday, March 14, 2017. This second session was broadcast / made available on Facebook Live.

The purpose of the community immigration session was to ensure that accurate information was made available to those who were interested in the immigration related updates after the Executive Orders on Immigration and their impact and anyone who might be seeking information about knowing your rights.

The following video segments were captured at the first session from St. Barnabas and we are extremely grateful to Father Brendan Fitzgerald. We encourage you to please check back with us frequently as we will be adding additional segments in the upcoming weeks.

We are grateful to Derek Woods Executive Director/Founder at Riverdale Theater for his assistance in helping us tape and edit these sessions – Thanks also to our participating attorneys, Martin Galvin Criminal Attorney and AOH Division 5 President, Lisa Johnston Esq. (Johnston and Associates) and Immigration Attorney and Director of Legal Services for EIIC John Stahl Esq.

Immigration Executive Orders and Community Advice
March 2,2017
U.S. Immigration Policy & Enforcement
Executive Orders & Community Advice
The Coalition of Irish Immigration Centers (CIIC), with support from the Embassy of Ireland, Washington, DC, crafted documents to provide analysis of President Trump’s Executive Orders, as well as subsequent directives regarding immigration enforcement and their current or potential impact on the Irish immigrant community residing in the United States to date.

There are two separate documents that are also available in a combined format upon request.

* CIIC Advice for the Irish Community:

Serves as a public information and preparedness piece for the Irish community at large, to be shared widely and publicly.
Serves  to provide in-depth analysis and background information on both administrative Executive Orders to date, as well as memos and announcement regarding enforcement, focused on impact on the Irish immigrant community in the U.S.
CIIC will continue to release this type of information as updated and/or new information is released by the new administration.
Coalition of Irish Immigration Centers
CIIC is funded through a generous grant from the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade’s Emigrant Support Programme
