Parole Cases - Immigration Justice Campaign

The Immigration Justice Campaign and our referring partners seek attorneys to represent non-citizen individuals detained across the country in securing their release from civil immigration custody on parole. This opportunity involves contacting the individual in detention, documenting their eligibility for release on parole, and submitting a parole request with supporting documentation to a local Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) office.
