Freedom for Immigrants
United States
Freedom for Immigrants was co-founded by Christina Fialho and Christina Mansfield with the goal of exposing and abolishing U.S. immigration detention. Freedom for Immigrants is devoted to abolishing immigration detention, while ending the isolation of people currently suffering in this profit-driven system. We are the only nonprofit in the country monitoring the human rights abuses faced by immigrants detained by ICE through a national hotline and network of volunteer detention visitors, while also modeling a community-based alternative to detention that welcomes immigrants into the social fabric of the United States. Through these windows into the system, we gather data and stories to combat injustice at the individual level and push systemic change.
Resources for people detained in the US: how to find someone in ICE detention, information about court dates, resources for finding attorneys, bonds, resources for asylum-seekers, resources to file lawsuits against poor conditions in detention, rights of people with disabilities in detention, how to navigate ICE post-detention, case processes, resources for people who are about to be deported, and for their network of involved people also navigating ICE and deportation proceedings.
