Impact Litigation
IDP engages in targeted litigation to further our mission of securing justice and fairness for immigrants. For over twenty years, IDP has played a key role in fighting for immigrant rights before the courts against the backdrop of increasingly draconian laws and policies.
Our Impact Litigation docket consists of cases that challenge the immigration consequences of criminal convictions and arrests, expansion of immigration incarceration, and unjust and abusive enforcement practices.
We frequently partner with law school clinics, law firms, and non-profit organizations that share our goals toward meaningful immigration reform.
