Protests Against "No Match" Letters CHICAGO, IL (wqub) - Labor and immigrant groups joined in protest against "no match" letters yesterday outside of the Social Security Administration building in downtown Chicago .The letters notify employers of discrepancies in a worker's Social Security record.Joshua Hoyt of Illinois Coalition For Immigrant and Refugee Rights says workers will keep fighting until the government drops the plan.

"If the no match letters go out, literally millions of people both undocumented and American citizens are going to be losing their jobs. And so, if that happens the reaction from the community's going to be powerful and fast."
The Department of Homeland Security implemented a new rule to use the no match letters as a tool for immigration enforcement.

A federal judge issued a temporary block against the notices. A court hearing is scheduled for October first.
