    • CLINIC Files Amicus Brief in 10th Circuit Family-Based Asylum Case

      Posted on April 29, 2021

      On April 8, 2021, CLINIC and the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, or CGRS, filed an amicus brief with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, on behalf of an asylum seeker and her son. The family fled El Salvador following the murder of one family member, and death threats against the petitioner in this case. Nonetheless, the Board of Immigration Appeals, or BIA, rejected the case, finding that the family was not a cognizable particular social group and that there was no nexus between the harm and a protected characteristic. CLINIC and CGRS laid out the long history of family being a protected ground as well as other flaws in the BIA's reasoning.

    • CLINIC Joins CGRS and Pangea to Advocate for Attorney General Garland to Vacate Attorney General Decisions that Limit Asylum

      Posted on April 14, 2021

      CLINIC, the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, and Pangea Legal Services, have sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, calling on him to vacate three precedential decisions — Matter of A-B-, Matter of A-C-A-A-, and Matter of L-E-A- — that severely limit access to asylum for those fleeing domestic violence, gang violence and violence based on family membership. As counsel for the asylum seekers in these three cases, we ask that the decisions be set aside as the agencies work on issuing regulations that will address these issues, pursuant to President Biden's Feb. 2, 2021 executive order on asylum.

    Promoting the Dignity of Immigrants with Affordable Legal Expertise

    As it has for more than 30 years, CLINIC will fight for the rights of immigrants. CLINIC trains legal representatives who provide high-quality and affordable immigration legal services. We develop and sustain a network of nonprofit programs that serve close to 500,000 immigrants every year. We cultivate projects that support and defend vulnerable immigrant populations by:

    • providing direct representation for asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and educating them about their rights; 
    • reuniting formerly separated families;
    • increasing legal representation for those in removal proceedings and in detention;
    • providing public education on immigration law and policies; and
    • advocating for fair and just immigration policies that acknowledge the inherent dignity and value of all people.  

    History has taught us that people who step up can make a difference. We hope you will join us.
