The Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project
The Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project provides free legal and social services to detained adults and children under threat of deportation. Although the government assists indigent criminal defendants and civil litigants through public defenders and legal aid attorneys, it does not provide attorneys for people in immigration removal proceedings. As a result, an estimated 86 percent of the detained people go unrepresented due to poverty. The Florence Project strives to address this inequity both locally and nationally through direct service, partnerships with the community, and advocacy and outreach efforts.
