    Job Summary:

    Operations Analyst, EOIR Representation Programs and CHIRP

    About the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) Representation programs: 

    The EOIR Representation programs include the National Qualified Representative Program (NQRP) and the Council for Children Initiative Program (CCI). NQRP, which was established by the Franco v. Holder decision, is the first “public defender” program in the US immigration court system. NQRP provides legal defense to people in immigration proceedings, who are detained by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), who cannot access legal counsel on their own, and have been found by an Immigration Judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) to be incompetent to represent themselves in immigration proceedings because of a serious mental health condition. The goal of CCI is to provide zealous person-centered representation to children who are by themselves in their removal proceedings.

    About the Children’s Holistic Immigration Representation Project (CHIRP):

    The goal of CHIRP is to provide both legal and social service support to children in the state of California, who are by themselves in their removal proceedings. CHIRP, which is funded by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) is novel in its investment of public funds in both social workers and legal staff, and presents an opportunity to expand services, build capacity, and promote best practices in holistic legal representation of unaccompanied children in California. Holistic representation is a model that centers the child client, as an interdisciplinary team of advocates wrap around the client to identify and respond to the intersecting challenges that often influence their legal case and might otherwise be unaddressed.
