AILA and Partners Send Letter to EOIR and ICE on Legal Access in Immigration Detention and Immigration Courts During COVID-19 Pandemic
AILA, the Council, and more than 100 other organizations sent a letter urging EOIR and ICE to immediately authorize robust and automatic use of remote options for immigration court appearances and attorney-client meetings. The letter comes after a recent ICE policy that went into effect and requires that attorneys meeting with clients in ICE detention centers provide their own personal protective equipment in order to be allowed into the facilities.
