This holiday season, join us to bring joy to children in immigration detention.

No child should spend the holidays detained, away from their loved ones and traditions. While we continue to fight for their release, we come together to make the holidays as enjoyable as possible, providing food that is familiar to them, dance music, and gifts for each child. Link in bio to support our annual Children’s Holiday Party for kids in immigration detention.

Today is Give Miami Day! 🎉 Your contribution today is vital to our efforts to break the cycle of poverty for our clients and their families by providing free legal services to those seeking immigration relief.

Documented status provides immigrants with opportunities for success like access to better jobs, higher wages, affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social services. In addition to economic stability, immigration status allows families to live safely together without fear of being separated, contributing to their physical and mental well-being and helping our entire community to be healthier and happier.

A message from our Executive Director Shay Fluhart

A message from our Executive Director Shay Fluharty: “Although Give Miami Day is not until Thursday (November 17!), I am too excited to wait and will be giving to my favorite non-profit, Americans for Immigrant Justice, today during early giving. As I stand in front of this powerful mural by Serge Toussaint (@toussaint.serge) in Little Haiti memorializing the horrors perpetrated by our government in Del Rio, Texas, I am reminded that there is so much work to do ensure our Haitian community receives the welcome and support they deserve to thrive. Did you know that the Haitian community is the second largest immigrant community in Miami, making up almost 10% of Miami's foreign-born population? That's another one of the many reasons I'm giving to Americans for Immigrant Justice - I know first-hand the difference we make defending the rights of the Haitian community. Join me!”

We are proud to honor Robert Brochin of @morganlew

We are proud to honor Robert Brochin of @morganlewis_law as an AI Justice Pro Bono Hero! Seeing that immigrant children of color are underrepresented in our legal system, Robert took on a pro bono case with AI Justice in 2021, dedicating his time and expertise to ensuring a young boy from Honduras would not have to navigate the immigration process alone. This child came to the United States as an unaccompanied minor from Honduras after escaping physical and mental abuse from his father. Robert's hard work and dedication obtaining a custodial order on the child’s behalf ensured the formalization of his placement with family here in the United States willing to care for him and give him the life he deserves free of harm. The child has been able to attend school and to receive necessary medical attention.

Without Robert's representation, this child would have been unable to seek this form of relief alone and would have been lost in the system as so many unfortunately are. Now, the child can sleep peacefully at night knowing he has a bed of his own, a supportive household environment, and that he is on the path to obtaining lawful permanent resident status.

We are inspired by the care Robert has for his client and the role he has played and will continue to play in the child’s future success. We are so grateful for Robert's diligence in supporting his client and for his dedication to protecting the rights of immigrants!

Support Americans for Immigrant Justice by Making a Donation Today.

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.
