Projects

ILCM occupies a unique niche among nonprofit immigration legal service providers because of the breadth of its services and service area, as well as its ability to work with clients of all nationalities. Our three-pronged model—direct legal services, education, and advocacy—allows us to comprehensively respond to and prevent immigration legal problems.

Our efforts are focused on these projects and programs.

  • Public Defender Project

    The Public Defender Project provides technical assistance, training, and education to Minnesota's public defenders on the immigration consequences of criminal convictions for non citizen defendants in order to avoid ineffective assistance of counsel claims for public defenders, and to reduce future need for post-conviction relief petitions based on ineffective assistance of counsel.

  • Advocacy and Defense Project

    The Advocacy and Defense Project combats misconceptions so that immigrant communities and the general public have the information they need to advocate for humane, fact-based, and pragmatic immigration laws and policies.
