In a climate where immigration enforcement actions sow fear and uncertainty in immigrant communities, attorneys across every field are being called to respond. Family law, criminal defense, employment, housing, and civil rights practitioners are all encountering clients whose legal challenges are complicated by immigration status and the looming threat of deportation.

This webinar offers an advocacy-driven approach to help non-immigration attorneys provide effective, compassionate, and justice-centered support. Panelists will discuss:

• How to respond when clients express fear of ICE raids, detention, or deportation.
• Options and resources for individuals considering voluntary return or self-deportation.
• The unique binational challenges faced by those returning to Mexico, and how attorneys can connect clients with trusted resources across borders.
• Practical and ethical considerations for attorneys committed to standing with immigrant communities while working outside immigration law.

This panel will highlight concrete tools, community-based strategies, and systemic insights to help attorneys advance justice and protect the dignity of immigrant clients in this critical moment.
