One of the continued realities of immigration practice for unaccompanied children is the need for advocacy beyond the IJ level in order to secure the protection they need. In order to support you in this advocacy CILA is pleased to announce a new partnership with the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, or NILA.
NILA’s mission is to realize systemic change in the immigrant rights’ arena by engaging in impact litigation and by building the capacity of social justice attorneys to litigate in federal court.
The CILA-NILA partnership focuses on obtaining relief in individual cases (not class-action lawsuits) and has three main components – trainings, technical assistance, and resource creation – to be delivered over the course of the coming year.
