Last month, we brought together eleven classes of Fellows to connect and learn from each other during these challenging times. With over 500 trained lawyers and advocates and more than 125,000 immigrants and their families served, our impact is a testament to the power of collective action. As we help thousands of immigrants in need of legal assistance each year, IJC continues to develop the next generation of immigration advocates and the shared knowledge of our growing coalition. #immigrationlaw (fb)

There is no guaranteed right to a lawyer or legal representation in immigration court. This means that if you cannot afford an attorney, you must represent yourself in court in front of an immigration judge and against a trained government attorney. This includes toddlers and children who cannot sit without a booster seat. The government has cut funding for the program. 📝 Tell your members of Congress to protect kids by restoring legal services for unaccompanied children ➡️ tinyurl.com/protect-kids #protectkids (fb)
