In a recent article, EdSource describes research on immigration enforcement’s impacts on the children of undocumented parents. The policy brief by UCLA’s Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles, Center for the Transformation of Schools, and Latino Policy and Politics Institute shows that these “children between the ages of 6 and 16 are 14% more likely to repeat a grade, while those aged 14 to 17 are 18% more likely to drop out of school altogether.” Read more in the policy brief: https://lnkd.in/gyaei_uh

The Center for Survivor Agency and Justice is hosting a valuable legal roundtable to examine the landscape of economic and consumer issues facing immigrant survivors. Many immigrant survivors lack an understanding of the US credit and financial system, making them particularly vulnerable to economic abuse and coerced debt. As a result, immigrant survivors face deep economic and consumer rights needs that are in need of creative, culturally relevant advocacy. This roundtable will discuss legal and nonlegal strategies to support immigrant survivors.

We fight to keep families united. Managing Attorney Karina Ramos was assigned two siblings in our Children's Representation Program. During the process she discovered their older sister, who had entered the United States with their mother, did not have an attorney either. She asked Director of Legal Services Mickey Donavan-Kaloust an all-too-familiar question at ImmDef: 'Mickey, please can we represent ALL siblings?' This one meaningful act resulted in predicate orders for the three siblings which is a major step forward toward legal status. #NoImmigrantStandsAlone #LegalAdvocacy #FamilyReunification #ChildrensRights #ImmigrantsRights #FamilyFirst #Immigration #immigrationlawyer #Immigrant #justiceforall #Dueprocess #Congrats #Felicidades #KeepFamiliesTogether
