Asylum offices across the country have begun issuing these notices to attorneys and applicants: they will no longer accept phone, mail, email, or in-person communications. How, exactly, would the government like asylum seekers to communicate?

These types of changes don't make the news, but they violate due process and harm asylum seekers incalculably, especially those who can't afford an attorney.

Thank you for the Young Alumni Achievement Award for Career Development! 🧡💙 I never take for granted that Gettysburg gave me this life and work I love today. The best teachers, the best friends, and the best El Centro kids in the world, all led me directly to and the amazing kids I get to work with every day. None of it would exist without Gettysburg. Mil gracias 🧡💙🧡💙

We are SO PROUD of Semilla Fellow Yulisa for her high school graduation!!! 🎓 Yulisa achieved this milestone while caring for Baby J through a liver transplant and facing hurdles that would have made others give up, but she never stopped fighting for her future and her dreams. ¡¡¡Felicidades, Yuli!!! 🥳 You did it!!!

We're thrilled to be celebrating TWO APPROVALS for children granted Special Immigrant Juvenile Status! 🙌 SIJS is a path to citizenship for children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by a parent. Getting an SIJS approval is no easy feat and often requires close collaboration between immigration attorneys, custody attorneys, social workers, and mental health professionals. This is an incredible first step towards safety for our clients! 🥳

At the same time, it's important to remember that this is just the beginning, and SIJS youth are under attack. In 2025, ICE detained 265 and deported 132 young people despite them having SIJS, per NBC.

: Immigrants are much more likely to be victims of fraud than to perpetrate it. The 5/26 DHS memo is another blatant attempt to deter asylum seekers from applying for the protections they deserve under the law.
