The Project

To serve people who are immigrants and refugees in the Central New York region, primarily focused on the city of Syracuse and county of Onondaga.

While Syracuse is home to thousands of immigrants and refugees, there are only a handful of private immigration attorneys and legal services organizations are working at capacity. Through this fellowship, I will provide direct representation to clients in special immigrant juvenile status applications and to those seeking post-conviction relief and to vacate underlying deportation orders. Further, through this fellowship, I will work with legal services organizations to maximize the provision of community education workshops and trainings to affected populations.
