Legal Representation Fund (LRF)

The Legal Representation Fund provides emergency bond hearing representation in Immigration Court with the assistance of experienced immigration lawyers.

The Legal Representation Fund was created to help fund free legal representation to detained immigrants who are eligible to request an immigration bond. Eligible individuals will be connected with an immigration lawyer who will perform an intake and determine eligibility for bond. If the individual is eligible, they will receive free legal representation for the bond hearing.
