On June 10, 2006 SikhSangat.com reported, "The first free legal clinic for NY Sikhs, to educate them about their legal rights and how the law affects their lives, was held last month. The legal clinic, organized by the UNITED SIKHS Legal Advocacy Wing (US LAW), dealt at length with the proposed immigration reforms which would have a great impact on the legal status of undocumented aliens. New York Attorneys Kuljeet Singh and Tejinder Singh (pictured) gave a talk and then fielded questions during the legal clinic, which was held at 118-11, 97 Avenue in Richmond Hill, New York. Kuljeet Singh, has been a practicing attorney for the last 15 years and his area of expertise is immigration, civil and criminal litigation. Tejinder Singh, UNITED SIKHS’ legal advisor, has been practicing law for the last 14 years and his expertise is in criminal defense, landlord and tenant disputes, matrimonial and family law, rental assistance and government benefits. The clinic was attended by over 30 people. Recently Sikhs who were granted asylum and whose applications are pending have been subject to random re-examination of their immigration status. Such cases are being re-evaluated and may result in deportation. UNITED SIKHS has been informed of two such cases being investigated by the FBI - one from NYC and another from New Jersey . There is a fear that the number of such cases may escalate. Mr Inderjeet Singh said Sikhs should attend these clinics and be informed about immigration issues and changes in the law and practice."
