Rutgers Immigrant Rights Clinic

The Rutgers Immigrant Rights Clinic serves immigrants who need individual client representation and broader advocacy, including relief from removal, applications for asylum and refugee status, and protection for victims of human trafficking, battered immigrants, or abused, abandoned or neglected immigrant children. The Clinic is part of the Detention and Deportation Defense Initiative, a program administered by the state of New Jersey and county of Essex to provide legal representation to low-income immigrants who are in detention and who are facing possible deportation.
