Children, grandparents, parents, coworkers and neighbors, the majority of whom have endured the grave consequences of deportation proceedings without legal counsel. In California alone, two out of three detained immigrants go unrepresented in our immigration courts each year. Our broken immigration system continues to systematically tear families apart and drive a wedge in our communities. We can and must do more to end the tide of mass deportation and build strong, safe communities and families for all of us.

Author: Srikantiah, Jayashri Title: Access to Justice for Immigrant Families and Communities: Study of Representation of Detained Immigrants in Northern California Summary: The recent surge of families migrating to the United States has cast a spotlight on the broken immigration system. Under current U.S. immigration laws and policies, immigrants in Northern California and across the country are not entitled to a lawyer unless they can pay for one or find someone to represent them for free. This report focuses on the Northern California immigrants who often face the most difficult challenges: those who are locked up while their deportation cases are decided by the courts. An overwhelming majority of these immigrants are forced to face deportation proceedings without a lawyer even though they are behind bars. This is true even for immigrants who have lived in Northern California with their families for most of their lives. When these immigrants lose their cases after fighting removal from behind bars and without counsel, they face lengthy or permanent separation from their Northern California families or return to violence in foreign countries.
