Coalition Letter Expresses Concerns About the Housing of Support Services Within ICE
Published
The American Immigration Council and other organizations responded to ICE's Request for Information (RFI) for a National Case Management Program. The letter requests that the Biden administration re-issued the RFI, this time housing the program outside of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The organizations express concern that ICE's management of the program would be a conflict of interest, and specifies that the program should be opt-in, holistic, individualized, non-profit run, and based in the dignity of participants. They also emphasizes the needs for federal funding for the legal representation of program participants.
Help us fight for immigration justice!
The research is clear – immigrants are more likely to win their cases with a lawyer by their side. But very few can get attorneys.
Introducing the Immigration Justice Campaign Access Fund.
Your support sends attorneys, provides interpreters, and delivers justice.
Immigration Justice Campaign is an initiative of American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association. The mission is to increase free legal services for immigrants navigating our complicated immigration system and leverage the voices and experiences of those most directly impacted by our country’s immigration policies to inform legal and advocacy strategies. We bring together a broad network of volunteers who provide legal assistance and advocate for due process for immigrants with a humane approach that includes universal legal representation and other community-based support for individuals during their immigration cases.
