An Oregon labor union filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the federal agency tasked with processing immigration applications, saying it exorbitantly raised fees in July.Interesting logic here.
Woodburn-based Northwest Treeplanters and Farmworkers United, a farmworker union, filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Portland along with the Service Employees International Union, the nation's second-largest union.
The suit names U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, saying the 100 percent fee-driven agency is plagued by long-standing mismanagement. The suit says that while fees have increased, the quality of service and wait times have not improved.
