The Deportee International Justice Campaign demands that foreign governments defend their nationals in the deportation process. We launched the campaign by convening a Consulate Roundtable in New York with over a dozen consulates who represent our nationals. We dialogued for months thereafter and surveyed the consulate on how they facilitate the deportation process. At our 2nd Roundtable, we presented three recommendations to countries receiving deportees: provide services to nationals facing deportation; prevent illegal deportations; and intervene in cases of abuse.
We have traveled to our nation’s capital and abroad with these recommendations. On the 10-year anniversary of the 1996 immigration laws, we took buses of families to Washington DC. During this Grassroots Nationwide Mobilization, we visited several embassies.

In March 2007, in recognition of the international impact of deportation, FFF helped organize an international conference on migration policies in the Dominican Republic. The conference titled “Towards Comprehensive Migration Policies” was a transnational dialogue among civic groups, academics, US and Dominican governmental representatives, and families personally affected. Participants focused on the impacts that the U.S. and Dominican immigration laws and policies are having on communities in the United States, Dominican Republic and Haiti. FFF members flew down to the Dominican Republic to attend the conference, see deported loved ones and organize deportees for further action.Our campaign is building relationships with foreign states, and laying clear foundations for their action.
