WASHINGTON, DC – Legislation reintroduced in the U.S. House (H.R. 1071) and Senate (S. 615) would provide humanitarian relief to a group of immigrants who lost a spouse or parents in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The September 11th Family Humanitarian Relief and Patriotism Act, introduced by Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Peter King (R-NY) and Sens. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ), would allow family members of victims of 9/11 who have been identified by the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund to adjust their status to that of legal permanent resident. This would allow them to remain in the United States provided they abide by all rules and regulations governing legal permanent resident status.
