New Immigration Q&A Column with Attorney and Activist Patricia Ice

November 2006: IMDiversity is pleased to announce the launch of "Ice on Immigration," a new advice column on IMDiversity.com providing information and tips on topics related to U.S. immigration and immigrant workers' rights.

L. Patricia Ice is an attorney and counselor who has taught immigration law at Mississippi College School of Law in Jackson, and also contributes regular immigration advice stories to La Noticia and The Jackson Advocate.

A practicing attorney, Ms. Ice has recently taken on a two-year role as an Equal Justice Works Katrina Legal Fellow, focusing on immigrant employment issues as fair labor standards, and wage and hour problems, in areas around the Gulf Coast.

She is also dedicated to immigrant rights advocacy, and serves on the Board of the non-profit rights education group, MIRA: The Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance at http://www.yourmira.org/.

Although the reader-suggested topics for the column are specific to no particular group of readers, the column will be housed on IMDiversity's Hispanic American Village site, as a featured stand-alone section in the Immigration readings department.
