Job Description

Immigration/Detention Attorney

The Opportunity

Right now, families are being separated faster than the courts can hear their cases. This is where you show up for them. You’ll provide real-time legal interventions to individuals impacted by immigration enforcement, including raids, arrests and detention. Part of your work is direct representation: representing clients before USCIS, the Immigration Courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals and federal District Courts, including removal defense and custody cases such as habeas petitions or bond hearings. Part of it is community lawyering: community outreach, coordination with community partners, group processing events, and Know Your Rights trainings that reach someone before they ever need a courtroom.

What You’ll Do

What follows are the core responsibilities of this role, the work that will fill most of your week. It isn't meant to be a complete list. Casework shifts with client need, court schedules, and whatever the organization needs most in a given season, and no list this short could capture all of that. This gives you a general picture of the role, not a complete list of everything it could include.

Direct Legal Services and Casework

· Provide urgent, time-sensitive legal services to individuals impacted by immigration enforcement, including raids, arrests and detention. Availability and travel may be required in the early morning, evenings and weekends.

· Conduct legal screenings and individualized consultations to detained immigrants several times a week to provide legal information and brief advice and to screen potential clients for eligibility for relief.

· Represent adults, families and children, including unaccompanied children, before USCIS, the Immigrant Courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, Ohio state courts and federal District Courts, including removal defense and custody cases such as habeas petitions or bond hearings.

· Represent clients at immigration-related appointments such as credible-fear interviews and ICE check-ins.

Community Lawyering and Outreach

· Coordinate with community partners and rapid responses networks

· Experience representing detained immigrants in removal proceedings and/or federal court litigation;

· Strong litigation, trial, and/or community advocacy skills;
