Letter to Secretary Mayorkas Urging Protections for Victims of San Antonio Tragedy
Published
The American Immigration Council led a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas urging him to ensure that surviving victims of the San Antonio tragedy—where over 50 people were found dead in migrant-smuggling operation—are not subject to further traumatization by being placed into immigration detention and possibly deported or expelled. The American Immigration Council and 102 other organizations from across North America urges the Secretary to ensure that any survivors of the tragedy in San Antonio are paroled into the United States and given assistance in applying for protection in the form of a U visa, T visa, or asylum.
Help us fight for immigration justice!
The research is clear – immigrants are more likely to win their cases with a lawyer by their side. But very few can get attorneys.
Introducing the Immigration Justice Campaign Access Fund.
Your support sends attorneys, provides interpreters, and delivers justice.
Immigration Justice Campaign is an initiative of American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association. The mission is to increase free legal services for immigrants navigating our complicated immigration system and leverage the voices and experiences of those most directly impacted by our country’s immigration policies to inform legal and advocacy strategies. We bring together a broad network of volunteers who provide legal assistance and advocate for due process for immigrants with a humane approach that includes universal legal representation and other community-based support for individuals during their immigration cases.
