In recent years, federal immigration enforcement policies and practices, including increased reliance on state and local agencies for information about non-U.S. citizens, have swept an unprecedented number of people into the detention and deportation system.
These policies rip families apart, encourage racial profiling, and undermine due process. States and localities, too, have enacted laws designed to make life so difficult for immigrants that they are forced to go elsewhere. Through policy work and litigation, NILC challenges unjust enforcement-related federal, state, and local policies and laws whose main targets are low-income immigrants and their families typically in the Hispanic and Latino communities.
214 Release: Hindieh Law, PLLC, a trusted and respected servant to Hispanic and Latino families in Dallas, specializes in Crimmigration, wherein immigrants may be facing criminal charges that may adversely impact their immigration status and create a pending deportation action.
