Dear Gambia-L:
For those already taken into custody by the INS, I can only be minimally
useful from my location (Los Angeles). However, I may be able to help
those members of our community who have not been detained by the INS
yet. Perhaps this serves as an opportunity to remind each of to pursue
legal status. Those who are eligible but have not yet done so should be
encouraged to apply for permanent residency and citizenship. I may be
able to help. I may be contacted at 800-506-5146 for consultation
regarding your own individual situations. Best wishes,
Morro K. Ceesay
Attorney

King Solomon, I had been thinking along the same lines. It is high time
we address this immigration issue. We should raise funds as a community
and help folks get bailed upon being apprehended. An immigration
violation is not a crime, in fact getting caught is sometimes a
blessing. What we should help avoid is the continuous detention of folks
for long periods of time.
With the understanding that this will take time and good planning, we
should come up with a date and do a fundraiser across the nation within
our communities to raise funds for immigration purposes only. These
funds can be given to the local Gambian societies that will help get
folks bailed. With this said, we need to be careful to not encourage any
criminal acts, and those with criminal records should probably be
screened with caution. We can either do this as a group, or individually
which could be tasking sometimes. Gambia-L what do you think?
