October 5, 2001 INS Commissioner James Ziglar Visits New York City NEW YORK Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS) Commissioner James Ziglar visited New York today and met with INS
employees and New York City officials.
Ziglar reiterated his call for undocumented aliens and employers who
have lost friends, family members or employees in the terrorist attack to
contact local authorities: All of us in the INS family have been deeply
shocked and saddened by the terrible loss of life and destruction in New
York. We are fully committed to the
recovery efforts. We continue to be
concerned that some people or employers whose loved ones or workers are missing
have not come forward because of immigration issues. We cannot let that happen.
It is crucial that local authorities get the help they need in
identifying victims and the missing. I want to personally urge the immigrant
community to come forward, and assure everyone that INS will not seek, and
local authorities will not divulge, any information provided in the rescue and
recovery effort. Ziglar is visiting New York to meet
with INS employees who were evacuated from their offices at 26 Federal Plaza on
Sept. 11 and to thank them for their efforts in resuming their services under
difficult circumstances. He is also
meeting with nongovernmental organizations active in immigrant communities
throughout New York, enlisting their aid in encouraging undocumented aliens who
have friends and loved ones missing to come forward and report information to
local authorities. INS  Share this page | Bookmark this page | Print this page |  Add to del.icio.us
