Cuc Vu
The Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) announced that former Director Cuc Vu will be re-joining the department as OIRA’s new acting director.
Vu, a dedicated immigrant advocate, served as OIRA Director from 2014-2022. During this time, Vu built the office into an integral resource for immigrant and refugee residents in Seattle, helping establish key programs around citizenship assistance, workforce readiness, community media, legal defense, woven together with tireless advocacy for the advancement and protection of Seattle’s immigrant and refugee communities.
“I am proud and energized to join OIRA as director at a juncture where immigrant communities and constitutional rights are under brazen assault,” said Vu. “Immigrants and refugees deserve to lead their lives in Seattle with support and pride, not in mounting fear.”
