Overview: Protecting Clients Against Removal This panel will discuss how to protect your survivor clients in the new enforcement atmosphere, including practical tips on immigration safety planning with survivors, using political and community organizing strategies to help advance and protect the rights of your U visa applicants, and advocacy strategies with DHS to hinder U applicant removals.
Skills Building to Prevent Removal and Pursue Remedies in Federal Court: In this panel experts will discuss details of how to identify and plan for filing stays of removal and potential federal court actions to prevent removal, achieve swifter decisions on their U cases, or challenge improper application of the law by CIS.
