Since 2020, DHS has engaged in the massive collect Since 2020, DHS has engaged in the massive collection of non-citizen DNA, increasing the FBI’s DNA database (CODIS) at an unprecedented rate of over 5,000 percent. 

Together with @GeorgetownPrivacy and @Amica.Center, we have filed a lawsuit against DHS for its failure to respond to a FOIA request seeking information about how DHS collects, stores, and uses noncitizen DNA samples. We want to know how the agency is collecting, storing, and using non-citizen DNA data—little to none of which the agency discloses to the public!

BREAKING: The U.S. District Court for the Southern BREAKING: The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida has imposed sanctions against Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier for violating a federal court order halting enforcement of Florida’s controversial immigration law, SB 4-C.

The decision comes after the court found Attorney General Uthmeier’s April 23 letter to law enforcement contradicted the court’s clear directive and its authority.

Upon finding Attorney General Uthmeier in contempt for violating the court’s previous order, the court has ordered him to file biweekly reports of any enforcement of S.B. 4-C.

The court’s decision to impose sanctions sends a powerful message: judicial orders are not suggestions and are not to be ignored without consequence.

The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the admin The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the administration to proceed with terminating parole granted under the Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela (CHNV) Parole Program has put the future of thousands of immigrants in Florida at risk. Americans for Immigrant Justice stands with those affected—individuals who came here legally, passed background checks, had financial sponsors, built lives, and contributed to our communities. Their safety and stability should not be jeopardized. 

Our North Star remains unchanged: striving for immigrants to gain legal status in the U.S. through protections they are entitled under the law. 

Join us in lifting immigrants who are in desperate need of legal help and those families in the U.S. that now face uncertainty.

FTW! A federal appeals court decided not to pause FTW! A federal appeals court decided not to pause a lower court’s ruling that stopped Florida’s SB 4-C from being enforced. This law targets undocumented individuals entering the state and has led to multiple arrests, including one involving a U.S. citizen. 

While this ruling is not the end of the fight against this state law, it will prevent state authorities from targeting neighbors across Florida with punishments they would not face under federal law in the meantime.

We are thrilled to welcome Troy Elder, Esq. as Dir We are thrilled to welcome Troy Elder, Esq. as Director of the Detention Program at AI Justice! 

Troy Elder, Esq., brings nearly 25 years of experience in immigration and refugee law to AI Justice, where he will lead efforts to defend the legal rights of detained immigrants. With a background in direct representation, policy advocacy, and legal education, he has dedicated his career to fighting for due process and justice for those facing detention and deportation. 

Immediately prior to joining AI Justice, Troy served as Executive Director of Interfaith Refugee & Immigration Service (IRIS) in Los Angeles, where he expanded legal and social services for refugees, asylum seekers and immigrant families. His work has taken him to the U.S.-Mexico border, courtrooms across the country, and classrooms at leading law schools.  Holding graduate degrees in law and ethics from Yale, Troy speaks Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole, allowing him to communicate directly with diverse immigrant communities. 

Troy takes on this role at a critical moment, as Miami emerges as a key battleground in the fight against unlawful deportations and prolonged immigrant detention. He is committed to ensuring that detained individuals receive legal information and representation, and that AI Justice remains at the forefront of protecting fundamental rights and preserving the rule of law. 

Welcome to the team, Troy!

There is no right to free legal representation in immigration proceedings and without AI Justice, which never charges for its services, countless adults and children without the means to hire an attorney would be forced to navigate our complex immigration system alone, essentially denying them the opportunity for justice.
