Immigrant Children's Defense Project

Hand signing legal document

The Alarming Reality: In the US immigration court system, children face immigration judges alone.

In the US immigration court system, even children face immigration judges alone, without the right to a court-appointed lawyer.

​This is the harsh reality that Lia, a 12-year-old asylum seeker from Honduras, faced. Despite fleeing sexual abuse and seeking safety in the US, she was deported back to her abuser due to lack of legal representation.

Advocating for a Brighter Future


Our project ensures that vulnerable children like Lia receive the legal support they deserve. Daniel, a 17-year-old unaccompanied child from Honduras, found hope in our services: "My lawyer always stood by me and never left me alone. In court, I felt afraid, but I never felt alone."

Hope and Support

Project Libertad's Immigrant Children's Defense Project is dedicated to bridging this critical gap in legal services.

Since 2020, we have:
​
  • Provided free immigration legal services to more than 90 immigrant youth (as of 2023).
  • Conducted regular Know Your Rights sessions for youth and families.
  • Offered community education and outreach programs.
  • Connected clients with trustworthy attorneys through legal referrals.
  • Advocated for just and humane immigration policies.
