In the United States, people facing detention and deportation who can’t afford a lawyer must navigate the labyrinth of immigration laws without legal counsel. Right now, 70 percent of people in immigration detention facing deportation are forced to appear in court completely alone.
Vera has a roadmap to create a system that treats people with respect, affords everyone facing detention and deportation the right to a publicly funded lawyer, and keeps families and communities together.
