Woodland resident and Fijian immigrant to be allowed to stay in U.S.
Times are much better these days for Rashmir Kaur, a Fijian immigrant and Woodland resident who was nearly deported twice because of her paperwork. Kaur said her lawyer, Equal Justice Works Fellow Cassandra Lopez, is working on moving up her status hearing so she can secure her green card and start working again. Kaur was a nurse's assistant at Woodland Skilled Nursing Home; she said the home wrote a letter to ICE supporting her and will give her her old job back, once her status is fixed.
