Immigration Justice Collaborative/La Colaborativa de Justicia Inmigratoria

Immigration Justice Collaborative/La Colaborativa de Justicia Inmigratoria We are a group of lawyers dedicated to empowering our immigrant community - La Colaborativa de Justicia Inmigratoria All the lawyers are volunteers.

The IJC was created in mid-November 2016 in response to widespread uncertainty regarding the status of non-citizens in the United States. After the election, there were many instances of children being mocked and bullied at school. Children were being told that they and their parents would be deported and that a great wall would be built to keep them out. Many people were told there would be mass

raids and deportations. This created an atmosphere of fear, uncertainty, and racist treatment towards immigrants. In response, a group of lawyers convened to establish the IJC, which is comprised of local attorneys who practice in diverse fields of law, including immigration, civil rights, employment law, criminal defense, and family law. The goal of the IJC is to reach out to communities affected by the President's executive orders to inform them of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution, the significance of the rule of law, separation of powers, and the status of changes in immigration policy.
