The Minnesota Children & Families Immigration Court Project

The Minnesota Children & Families Immigration Court Project is a joint project between ILCM, Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid, and The Advocates for Human Rights. The project was created to help assist the increased number of unaccompanied minors and other Central American Refugees who are being placed in removal proceedings and facing deportation. Project volunteers provide free legal screenings on-site at court to respondents. Screenings are then circulated to the partnering agencies to see if the case is appropriate for full representation. Volunteers are not expected to take on any cases or complete any follow-up work after they have completed screenings at court. Previous experience with immigration law is preferable but not required for this project.
