Know Your Rights
All people in the United States have rights,
regardless of immigration status
The National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) defends the rights of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.
Our advocacy and legal services teams keep families together, free people from the dangers of immigrant detention, and prevent asylum seekers and long-time community members from being deported based on unjust laws and illegal government actions.
Legal Services for Immigrants
NIJC provides legal consultations and representation for low-income immigrants seeking a wide range of immigration legal relief.
Stop ICE
Tell Congress: Not one more dollar for ICE or Border Patrol
