NORTH BERGEN – The township of North Bergen will present a free citizenship and deferred action information session on Tuesday, Feb. 10 in partnership with Hudson County and nonprofit group We Are One New Jersey. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the citizenship process and to hear information about the Deferred Action program, including the expansion announced last year by President Barack Obama.
North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco was one of the first public officials in New Jersey to support the President’s immigration executive order and is presenting this program to make sure North Bergen residents are aware of their rights and responsibilities regarding immigration.
The event will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the North Bergen Township Hall Commission Chambers, 4233 Kennedy Blvd.
“North Bergen is a diverse community with residents from different cultures, including many immigrants who came here to provide a better life for their families,” said Sacco. “Their presence has added so much to our community, which is why I am very excited to announce this new initiative to provide information and guidance on citizenship and deferred action. I encourage anyone facing these issues to attend this free information session and learn about your rights and options.”
The We Are One New Jersey Hudson County Center provides U.S. citizenship application guidance, voter registration, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) application and renewal assistance, understanding of workplace rights and notary services. The goal of the center is to build stronger communities by educating and engaging new Americans to become active participants in our democracy. Services are provided at low- or no-cost.
