CAIR Coalition has nearly quadrupled the number of detained adults and children to whom we were able to provide pro bono legal representation for over the past 5 years. Thousands of individuals still need our help.
The Center for Popular Democracy published a report reviewing representation rates for detained immigrants in proceedings at the Arlington & Baltimore immigration courts. The report, Access to Justice: Ensuring Counsel for Immigrants Facing Deportation in the D.C. Metropolitan Area, confirms a stark reality: that representation rates for detained individuals are severely low and that detained individuals with legal representation are much more likely to win a form of legal relief than those without.
Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition is the only nonprofit organization exclusively focused on serving this tremendously under-served population in the Washington, DC region. To help we ask you do to two things:
Get educated: Read the report to learn about the staggering lack of counsel for immigrants facing deportation.
Help us Fight: Make a donation today and help us fight for justice for more detained immigrants in the Washington, DC region.
