[nfbwatlk] Fwd: update from Mai

[Mike Freeman]

Fellow Federationists:

Some of you may remember Mai, a Vietnamese student who attended WSSB, went on to higher education but was forced to return to Vietnam when her visa ran out. As you will see below, her long tustle with ICE is over and she will now be able to become a permanent U.S. resident.
