Since the announcement of a federal funding “freeze,” threatened and actual cuts to federal funding for immigration legal services by the Trump administration have caused Immigration Legal Services (ILS) programs to scramble to navigate challenging and uncertain financial times. Program leaders and organization leaders (where organizations that have ILS programs that are part of their larger organization) are having to make very difficult decisions about the programs’ futures and sustainability that may include reduction in services or staffing. Given the importance of sustaining ILS programs in this political climate, as well as ongoing litigation regarding the legality of the administration’s attacks on federal contracts and grants, it is important for programs to plan and respond accordingly and avoid rushing to any decision that negatively impacts the ILS program or harms the clients.
