Amidst challenges like finding housing and steady employment, people seeking safety in the U.S. also face the daunting task of navigating the complicated legal system to complete their 1-year deadline to apply for asylum. In an interview with ABC 7 Chicago, NIJC Pro Bono Manager Ellen Miller and NIJC Executive Director Mary Meg McCarthy explained the importance of this upcoming application deadline for asylum seekers and the current need for more pro bono attorneys to help. "If you don't apply within one year of arriving, you miss your opportunity to apply. That's what the law says," said Miller. "If you don't comply with your immigration requirement, you could face deportation," said McCarthy. "People are traumatized. They need some time to decompress and make sure they are safe, but at the same time, don't lose sight that they have an immigration case." Watch the full interview with ABC 7 below.

WHAT CAN BE DONE IF THE HOME OFFICE TREAT AN ASYLUM APPLICATION AS WITHDRAWN?   TACTIC INFORMATION SESSION Wednesday 24 January 11 a.m. - 12 noon In order to give the appearance that the Home Office had cleared the backlog of asylum claims registered before 28 June 2022, thousands of asylum claims were treated as withdrawn by the Home Office. It has meant that many people suddenly found themselves without a valid application, at risk of detention or removal and without any accommodation or financial support. Claims were treated as withdrawn without the consent of the person claiming asylum and many decisions were based on wrong information (such as the person having moved to an unknown address when living in a hotel provided by the Home Office). Unfortunately, many of these people will not have access to legal aid lawyers to know what to do next. There are various options for people who are facing this situation. To find out what these are, join the online information session on Wednesday 24 January between 11 a.m. and 12 noon. There will be time afterwards for discussion and to raise individual queries. The session will be taken by Sue Conlan who has been practising in the field of immigration and asylum since July 1987. Fees:              £20 (can be two people for the same price) Booking:        By email to [email protected] An invoice will be issued on booking. The Zoom invite will be sent close to the date of the session. For more information or to discuss options for tailoring a training or information session that meets the needs of your organisation, contact Sue at the above email.

“Nobody should face the devastating consequences of detention or deportation without someone to defend them in court. The new Colorado Fiscal Institute report demonstrates the transformative impact that legal representation has on keeping families together and promoting economic stability.” —Liz Kenney, associate director for Vera’s Advancing Universal Representation Initiative    The Colorado Fiscal Institute’s new report, “Impacts and Benefits for Investing in Immigration Justice: Colorado Immigration Legal Defense Fund” highlights the urgent need to expand access to immigration defense services. The report underscores how the lack of legal representation is affecting immigrants facing deportation and costing Colorado’s state and local economies.     Read on for more on the Colorado Fiscal Institute’s findings and how we will continue to work with Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network and Mountain Dreamers to fight for universal representation: https://lnkd.in/dyyT9vjC

📢 Duncan Lewis is challenging the government in court over failures to raise legal aid rates for immigration and asylum work or take any other action to address problems in provision in a timely and effective way. This neglect has left vulnerable individuals struggling to find legal representation for crucial asylum cases, highlighting an urgent need for reform. Public Law Solicitor Jeremy Bloom says: "Legal aid will never be wildly profitable, and that’s ok. But providers of legal aid cannot continue taking on work that causes financial losses. It is not sustainable, and the losers are the people who need representation." The Duncan Lewis team involved in this judicial review include Toufique Hossain, Nina Kamp and Elizabeth Cole, who have instructed Matrix Chambers' Chris Buttler KC, Eleanor Mitchell and Jack Boswell.
