Immigration

A 68-year-old Fox Valley man, who was born in western Pennsylvania, recently received a notice from federal immigration officials telling him to leave the country or face removal.

Officials in Milwaukee County discussed on Tuesday morning what they can do about activity by federal immigration agents in the county’s courthouse.

A federal judge has put a hold on immigration officials’ move to deport an international student at UW-Madison.

On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump promised “mass deportations.” It was a big concern for industries, like dairy in Wisconsin, that rely on the labor of workers without legal immigration status. 

The Trump administration has terminated six UW-Madison student visas and seven alumni visa employment extensions, the university announced Monday.

As President Donald Trump’s administration ramps up deportations, the state Assembly passed a bill Tuesday that would require Wisconsin county sheriffs to comply with federal immigration authorities.

Republican supporters of the bill say it would make Wisconsin safer, while opponents say it raises civil rights concerns and would erode trust in law enforcement among members of migrant communities.

A group of Wisconsin bishops is urging elected officials to reinstate a policy protecting churches from immigration enforcement. They say that “welcoming the stranger” is a core tenet of their faith.

Senators have voted to advance Trump’s education secretary pick Linda McMahon to head an agency McMahon has said she wants to shut down. Education advocates argue this and other federal education shakeups are creating uncertainty in Wisconsin schools.

Scores of protestors turned out to support Yessenia Ruano on Friday morning, before her scheduled check-in with officials at the Milwaukee branch of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
