U.S (VERA INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE) : Did you know people can be tried in immigration court without a lawyer ?

 

 

 

Friend,   In the U.S., people facing detention and deportation do not automatically get a publicly funded attorney. If they can’t afford to hire a lawyer, they have no choice but to navigate the notoriously complicated and ever-changing labyrinth of immigration law alone.   That’s why Vera and our partners have launched a campaign for the Fairness to Freedom Act, pushing for legislation that establishes a universal right to federally funded legal representation for anyone facing deportation who can’t afford it. Add your name to support the Fairness to Freedom Act. The Fairness to Freedom Act will not only create a more fair and just immigration system but will also allow people to fight their deportation cases with the help of a lawyer and the connection and support of their community and their loved ones. Support the Fairness to Freedom Act. In Solidarity,   Vera Institute of Justice. Vera Institute of Justice
