Who We Are

The National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild (NIPNLG) is a national membership organization of lawyers, law students, legal workers, advocates, and jailhouse lawyers working to defend and extend the rights of all noncitizens in the United States, regardless of immigration status. We pursue all forms of legal advocacy on behalf of immigrants. We also provide technical assistance, training, and support to legal practitioners, community-based immigrant organizations, and advocates working to advance the rights of noncitizens.

NIPNLG develops cutting-edge strategies to respond to unlawful immigration enforcement, government overreach, and efforts to erode immigrant rights. Join us! Read our latest News Alerts here.
