Hi John, we now know that COVID-19 has been spreading in immigration jails and the movement to get people out is growing. Join the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) and our pro bono partner Sidley Austin LLP for a virtual event on Monday, April 27 at 3:30 p.m. CT about ongoing efforts to release people immediately from immigration jails during the COVID-19 pandemic. You will hear from policy, litigation, and direct service experts about the dire situation detained immigrants and asylum seekers are experiencing across the country and the heroic efforts to free many of them.
