It is a sad reflection on our current government that efforts to defend constitutional and statutory rights are labeled as efforts to undermine the federal government.
NWIRP is proud that it is able to help educate the community about their constitutional rights and the immigration benefits that our laws provide, and is committed to assisting individuals in exercising those legal rights. This is overlaid over the final page of the letter we received, which includes signatures from the Chairman of the Committee as well as the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability. We thank all of those who stand with us and support us in defending and advancing the rights of immigrants. This text sits above an image of all our staff gathered in a beautiful meadow with tall pine trees smiling.

Our response to a recent "oversight" letter NWIRP received today from the Committee on Homeland Security.
Our response to a recent oversight letter NWIRP received today from the Committee on Homeland Security written in text overlaid in front of the seal of the United States of America NWIRP, like many of our partners across the country, received this "oversight" letter yesterday from the Committee of Homeland Security, from the U.S. House of Representatives. This is overlaid over the first page of the letter we received. It states that "the Committee is concerned that certain NGOs are now actively advising [undocumented noncitizens] on how to avoid and impede law enforcement officials, which can only be seen as an attempt to undermine the work [of the] federal government." This is overlaid over the second page of the letter we received from the Committee. This is just the latest example of what can only be described as authoritarian efforts to intimidate all those who do not share the administration's anti-immigrant agenda. This is overlaid over the 3rd page of the letter we received from the committee.

Three very talented artists recently created work for us inspired by the immigrant rights movement. We are so excited to share their beautiful pieces with you! Each artist is recognized in the alt text for their respective piece.
A collage of people, including a recent graduate, a gardener, a physician, a father and child, a young girl flying a rainbow colored kite, and a blue haired woman with a yellow flower in her hair surround the words "immigrant rights are human rights." This piece was created by Brigid Slinger. A stoic woman, painted in a melancholy blue with a vibrant red covering her neck and right cheek, looks upward. there is a monarch butterfly rested in her black hair. Overlayed across the painting are the words "Justice for Immigrants Justice for All." This piece was created by Periko the Artist. A group of protestors holding signs reading "keep going," "we are stronger together," and "justice for immigrants, justice for all" stand in front of a cityscape with Mount Rainier nestled above the buildings. Overlayed above them are the words "immigrant rights are human rights." This piece was created by Valeria Ortiz.

While it is important to show up to your court hearing to avoid a deportation order in your absence, it is your right to oppose the dismissal of your immigration case.

We have prepared a flier with important information on your rights in immigration court. Please feel free to share it.
