The U.S. immigration system is complex. Its laws, regulations, and procedures can be challenging even for legal professionals to navigate. For immigrants, particularly those with a language barrier, facing immigration court proceedings without legal assistance can be an awful experience. The DOJ recently issued an order federally funded legal service providers to cease providing support at immigration courts.
