  • Biden Administration Must Take Executive Action on Immigration
    The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) is calling on President Biden to use executive action to enact bold policy solutions on immigration. Specifically, the ILRC is demanding action to ensure immigration benefits are more equitable and accessible, and that the work to dismantle the enforcement, detention and surveillance systems is begun.
  • Supreme Court’s Decision to Keep Title 42 Intact is Another Blow to Asylum Seekers
    The Supreme Court’s decision to keep Title 42 in place for months will continue to deny migrants their right to seek asylum, and the Biden Administration must act swiftly to help migrants being unduly punished by this racist policy.
  • Immigrant and Human Rights Groups Condemn Biden Administration’s New Denaturalization Policy
    Last week, the Department of Justice released a new denaturalization policy. Instead of reverting back to the decades-long practice of reserving denaturalization for only the most egregious cases, the policy legitimizes the denaturalization apparatus that the Trump administration builded upon. The policy fully ignores concerns and recommendations that a broad coalition of advocacy organizations has repeated consistently since President Biden stepped into office. Alarmingly, under this policy, broad categories of people will continue to face the threat of their citizenship being taken away.
  • Immigrant Legal Resource Center Congratulates Nancy Pelosi on Historic Tenure
    The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) congratulates and commends the historic tenure of Nancy Pelosi, as the first and only woman elected Speaker of the House. The ILRC looks forward to future collaboration with Rep. Pelosi through her work on Capitol Hill, and as a member of our Advisory Board since 1988.
  • No More Excuses for Biden Administration Now That Title 42 is Struck Down
    The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) welcomed a federal court’s decision striking down Title 42 and we urge the Biden Administration to work quickly to process asylum seekers who had been expelled due to this racist policy. The ruling is clear that Title 42 had nothing to do with public health but was instead another hateful tactic deployed by the previous administration to keep migrants from exercising their right to seek asylum. All other policies implemented in the spirit of Title 42, especially Texas’s Operation Lone Star, should immediately cease operations.
  • Texans, Immigration Advocates Call on Biden Admin, DHS to Cut Ties With Operation Lone Star
    Texans impacted by Gov. Greg Abbott’s racist Operation Lone Star were joined by immigration advocates Tuesday demanding the Biden Administration and the Department of Homeland Security immediately stop allowing federal funds and other assistance be used to support this harmful scheme.
