Southeastern Minnesota Interfaith Immigrant Legal Defense (SMIILD), is a local organization advocating for human rights and legal representation. On a given night, as many as 44 people, who live and work in southeastern Minnesota, are in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Roughly 50% cannot afford legal representation. Without representation, they are 6-10 times more likely to be deported. Most often, those who are held are eligible for release on bond, but the “fee” amounts are far beyond the ability of low-income immigrants to pay. Hear the stories of individuals and families who have suffered, then benefitted from these services, and how you might be able to assist.

This discussion will be facilitated by board members of SMIILD.
