Attend "The Current Status of Immigration Law in the United States," at Manchester Community Library on Monday, April 2 at 7 p.m. Susan Sussman, Caseworker for Senator Patrick Leahy, specializing in Immigration issues, will present the free program, which is co-sponsored by the Interfaith Council of the Northshire and Manchester Community Library.

With immigration issues in the news today and in the face of numerous Presidential Executive Orders, federal court cases, and Congressional action, Sussman will discuss who can presently come to the United States as a nonimmigrant (e.g. visitor, student, temporary worker), immigrant, or refugee. She will also explore some of the impact here in Vermont.

Prior to working for Senator Leahy, Sussman had a long legal career in a number of roles including private practice as an immigration attorney, the Executive Director of the Vermont Human Rights Commission, an Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, a lawyer for Vermont Legal Aid, and as a diversity/equity trainer and mediator.
