Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE MISSION OF THE AMERICAN IMMIGRATION COUNCIL IS TO STRENGTHEN AMERICA BY HONORING OUR IMMIGRANT HISTORY AND SHAPING HOW AMERICANS THINK ABOUT AND ACT TOWARDS IMMIGRATION NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.
JUSTICE CAMPAIGN:THE IMMIGRATION JUSTICE CAMPAIGN IS A JOINT INITIATIVE BETWEEN THE COUNCIL AND THE AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ASSOCIATION. THE CAMPAIGN'S MISSION IS TO FIGHT FOR DUE PROCESS AND JUSTICE FOR DETAINED IMMIGRANTS. THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION HAS AUTHORIZED A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN EFFORTS TO DETAIN AND DEPORT IMMIGRANTS. INDISCRIMINATE ENFORCEMENT MEASURES THAT DISREGARD DUE PROCESS AND UNDERMINE ACCESS TO A FAIR DAY IN COURT PRESENT NEW CHALLENGES. WITH A LAWYER, AN IMMIGRANT IS TEN TIMES MORE LIKELY TO PREVAIL IN THEIR CASE. AND YET, ONLY 14 PERCENT OF DETAINED IMMIGRANTS HAVE AN ATTORNEY BY THEIR SIDE IN IMMIGRATION COURT. THE GOAL OF THE CAMPAIGN IS TO RESPOND TO THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN ARRESTS AND DETENTION BY EXPANDING ACCESS TO LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS HELD IN DETENTION CENTERS. TO ACHIEVE THIS, THE CAMPAIGN IS BUILDING A BROAD NETWORK OF PRO BONO ALLIES TO SERVE THE MANY THOUSANDS OF DETAINED INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE GO UNREPRESENTED AND TRAINING PRIVATE LAWYERS WITH NEW TACTICS AND STRATEGIES TO ENABLE THEM TO VIGOROUSLY DEFEND IMMIGRANTS FACING REMOVAL.

THE TEAM HELPS ENSURE THAT THE COUNCIL'S RIGOROUS PUBLICATIONS AND ANALYSIS ARE COMMUNICATED TO THE RIGHT DECISION MAKERS AND MESSENGERS AT THE RIGHT MOMENT TO IMPROVE IMMIGRATION POLICY.

THROUGH OUR EXCHANGE VISITOR PROGRAM, WE ASSIST HOST ORGANIZATIONS WITH NAVIGATING THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND OFFER SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRAINING OR INTERNSHIP. THE CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM PROMOTES THE UNDERSTANDING OF TEMPORARY IMMIGRATION AND PARTICIPATION IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY BY SPONSORING J-1 VISAS FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAINEES AND INTERNS AT U.S. BUSINESSES OF ALL SIZES. FORMATTING CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE ODESIGNATED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE TO OFFER AN EXCHANGE VISITOR PROGRAM, THE CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM FACILITATES EMERGING PROFESSIONALS TO DEVELOP CAREER ENHANCING SKILLS AT U.S. COMPANIES TO USE IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES. THE PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS WILL, IN TURN, BENEFIT FROM EXPOSURE TO VARYING CULTURES IN THE COUNTRIES INTO WHICH THEY ARE OPERATING OR INTO WHICH THEY ARE EXPANDING.
