A program is working to provide assistance to immigrants facing deportation without legal representation. The initiative sends volunteer lawyers to immigration courts to help individuals navigate the complex system. In one morning of hearings at a California immigration court, a list of 57 people was noted to have no representation.

This lack of legal counsel can increase the risk of deportation, particularly under current policies. Further details about the program and its efforts are available from the source, including the role of a coordinator who oversees the volunteer lawyers and the challenges they face in the immigration court system.
