Established in 1980, the National Immigration Project is a national membership organization of lawyers, law students, legal workers, and jailhouse lawyers working to defend and expand the rights of all immigrants in the United States. The National Immigration Project is especially committed to working on behalf of the most disenfranchised and vulnerable, including, but not limited to, battered women, people with HIV/AIDS, children and noncitizen criminal defenders. The National Immigration Project provides legal assistance and other technical support to immigrant communities, legal practitioners, and advocates who work to advance the rights of noncitizens. We seek to promote justice and equality of treatment in all areas of immigration law, the criminal justice system, and social policies related to immigration.
