Many immigrants face deportation without a lawyer at their side in court . This program tries to help

In Sacramento, California, immigration attorney Kamalpreet Chohan recently reviewed a docket of 57 individuals scheduled for court hearings to highlight a significant lack of legal representation among those facing deportation. The observation underscores a broader issue within the immigration court system, where many individuals must navigate complex legal proceedings without the assistance of counsel.

A new initiative is currently attempting to address this disparity by providing legal support to immigrants in court. The program aims to mitigate the challenges faced by those who would otherwise be forced to represent themselves in deportation hearings.
