What happens after ICE picks up an immigrant? How will the case differ if he or she is released or remains in detention throughout the removal process? Join this two-part learning lab to gain a better understanding of the immigrant’s journey through apprehension, processing, and detention during the removal process.
Part I: The morning session is designed to provide funders with the basics of detention and removal defense and will include case studies.
Part II: The afternoon session is designed to provide funders with a discussion on more complex removal and detention issues.
Attendees will learn how philanthropy can respond to immigration detention and removal defense, where funding gaps exist, and opportunities for impact.
