Client testimonials:  

A Haitian Certified Nursing Assistant who is the mother of three young children, said, "The organization that has been helping me a lot is Americans for Immigrant Justice.” She explained that losing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) puts her U.S.-born children at risk. “I can't see me leaving my kids behind and I can't see me taking my kids to go to Haiti where I know they will be in danger. We didn't do anything wrong, we didn't kill, we didn't steal, we didn't do anything wrong. All we are trying to do is survive. Because where we come from, there are a lot of bad things. We are not safe there.”

A.D., a dreamer and DACA recipient who was wrongfully detained and deported and whom Americans for Immigrant Justice returned to his family in Florida, said, "I cannot thank enough the lawyers from Americans for Immigrant Justice. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for everything you did, from myself and my family. It's beacuse of Americans for Immigrant Justice that I'm here. It's because of Americans for Immigrant Justice that I have reunited with my son, and I get to see him graduate from high school." 

Roberto, who escaped death threats in Colombia for being a community organizer, said "Americans for Immigration Justice gave me very essential support at all times. They prepared me, gave me hope and a sigh of relief, and were by my side the entire time. My asylum was approved because I had God’s blessing and Americans for Immigrant Justice’s support, who sincerely did an excellent job." 

A survivor of domestic abuse said, "I am deeply grateful to everyone at Americans for Immigrant Justice. Over the years, they’ve assisted my family with kindness and compassion. Our lives have improved in countless ways thanks to their dedication. I hope they can continue this vital work for others facing the same challenges I did.”
