Letter Calling On President Biden To Include Immigrants In Pardon Process

President Biden pardoned thousands of people who were convicted on federal charges of simple possession of marijuana from 1992 to 2021. While these pardons are long overdue and necessary, they regrettably fail to protect many immigrants from negative implications of marijuana-related activities on their immigration status. This letter calls on the President to take the further step of ensuring that people do not suffer immigration consequences because of marijuana convictions.
