International & Non-Citizen Member Resources

Over the last few weeks, the Trump Administration has been escalating attacks on non-citizen students and academic workers across the US—and we should be prepared for these threats to impact our UW community.

Our union has set up a UAW Immigration Hotline with a team of lawyers to quickly connect members facing an immigration emergency with legal resources. In the event that you or a coworker are experiencing an unexpected change in immigration status or any other immigration-related emergency, call this number: 888-416-2110.

Additionally, our Local is part of the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN), which operates a Deportation Defense Hotline in WA state. To report ICE activity and get connected to immigration resources in Washington, call this number: 844-724-3737.
