Settlement Information: Hamama v. Adducci

If you have a received a notice from ICE stating that you have 90 days before ICE begins finalizing your removal, it is critical that you take it seriously. The fact that you received a 90-day notice from ICE means that you have a final order of removal and ICE may be actively trying to deport you. You should not rely on the fact that Iraq has in the past been unwilling to accept removals. There are other Hamama class members who have recently been removed to Iraq. In addition, ICE has informed us that they may seek to remove Iraqis who have protections under the Convention Against Torture or withholding of removal to Iraq to countries other than Iraq. If your goal is to remain in the United States, we strongly recommend that you consult with an immigration attorney as soon as possible to assess if you have options for immigration relief. If you received a notice but do not have a final order of removal, or if you received a letter stating that the government is trying to remove you to a third country, please reach out to us immediately at hamama@aclumich.org.
