The Department of Homeland Security has announced a process by which migrant workers who witness or are victims of workplace labor violations can apply for protection from deportation.
The new process allows migrant workers to apply for “deferred action,” meaning protection from deportation if they’re taking part in an investigation of workplace labor violations.
If approved, migrant workers cooperating with a labor investigation can stay in the country for two years. They can also apply for authorization to work legally in the country during that time.
