Families, Advocates to Rally for Administrative Relief and Immigration Reform at U.S. Senate Offices in Portland

Portland, Ore. -- In response to President Obama's recent announcement that he will delay administrative action on immigration reform, immigrant families and advocates will hold a rally on Friday, September 26th at 12 p.m., at the offices of U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.  We will ask Oregon's U.S. Senators to join us in calling on President Obama to keep his promise by providing administrative relief and stopping deportations for thousands of immigrant families immediately.
