In the Settlement, ICE grants 3 years of deferred action for the 4 individual Plaintiffs and ICE agrees to exercise its prosecutorial discretion by filing a joint motion to reopen and dismiss, without prejudice, the pending immigration cases against 3 of the individual Plaintiffs (including Vicky). Should the case arise, ICE will also give due consideration to any future request for prosecutorial discretion made by the 4th individual Plaintiff.  Should any of the individual Plaintiffs be arrested or charged with a criminal offense the terms of this paragraph of the Agreement will be nullified at the discretion of ICE with respect to the individual Plaintiff arrested or charged. 

Thank you to all at First Unitarian Church of SLC who helped make this possible!!
