Americans for Immigrant Justice Needs Your Support

The immigration system is complex and constantly changing, making it nearly impossible to navigate alone. ​That’s why we step in and provide free legal representation to those who need it most. Immigrants with legal representation are 5 times more likely to pursue immigration relief and win their cases than those without attorneys. We need your support to continue championing the rights of our clients!
