Ann Lawani represents the best of us: a hardworking, dedicated nurse who committed herself fully to her education and profession and is beloved by her patients, her students, and her community. Despite having a legal work permit, issued by DHS itself, the same agency took her away in the middle of the night. They purposefully disappeared her, so as to deny her rights to communication with her family and her right to timely legal representation that would allow for her release. As a result, she is at grave risk of being deported to a third country where she has no ties. We are demanding her immediate release and using our union’s resources to support her case.
