This year has revealed deep fault lines in our nation’s immigration system. Sweeping policies and political rhetoric have fueled fear, stripped thousands of their status, and targeted immigrant children and families—all under the guise of safety.
These attacks don’t just harm immigrants. They weaken the very fabric of our communities and economy.
We know that immigrants are essential to America’s prosperity. They power industries, start businesses, and enrich our neighborhoods. Yet today, their contributions are being downgraded, and their dignity denied. This is both a human rights crisis and an economic crisis.
At the American Immigration Council, we refuse to stand by. Every day, we fight for fairness and accountability, challenge disinformation with facts, and build inclusion from the ground up. And thanks to supporters like you, we’ve made real progress:
230+ immigration cases placed with pro bono attorneys, including 202 new volunteers trained and mentored by the Council
71% success rate for detained clients—five times the national average.
30,000+ government records analyzed to expose harmful family separation policies.
900+ state bills tracked to help defeat harmful proposals and advance protective ones.
But the fight is far from over. As we enter a pivotal year, we need your help to keep moving forward.
