The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) helds its annual conference in Boston, MA from June 18-21. The event was a great success. As mentioned in a previous post, Tahmina was honored to have been invited as a speaker. Some 3500 attorneys attended the event.

The keynote speaker was the DHS Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In his speech he said that “we as an agency must ensure that our adminstration of immigration law serves justice and does not deliver an injustice”. He also called for efforts to have comprehensive immigration reform. See below a link to his speech.
