Some families hold mixed status. There may be a family where people are citizens, have some immigrant status or have no immigrant status. There are entire families that are undocumented and entire families that are mixed.
Rutgers University offers support for students with undocumented or uncertain legal status on campus, such as legal advice, which can be put to good use as the Supreme Court is set to decide on whether to uphold Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students, who are undocumented students with protected status while attending college.
Jason Hernandez, a lawyer at the Rutgers Immigrant Community Assistance Project (RICAP) in Newark, is one of the resources offered to students who need legal advice. RICAP is a pilot project that was established in 2017, months after students petitioned for undocumented students’ rights after the 2016 election.
