The Community Immigration Law Center offers a free walk-in immigration clinic and free or low cost legal representation to eligible detained non-citizens in removal proceedings.

CILC offers representation for detained non-citizens in removal proceedings. The representation covers all aspects of immigration court proceedings, including:

• bond proceedings

• competency hearings

• merits hearings

• USCIS applications and proceedings

• BIA appeals

• remands from the BIA

• state court proceedings related to immigration relief

The Community Immigration Law Center, Inc. (CILC) seeks to assist low-income immigrants with their immigration-related issues by providing information, support, and referrals to immigration attorneys or accredited representatives. Community volunteers conduct the legal clinic. The volunteers include law students who conduct an initial intake interview and either an attorney or an accredited representative who then conducts a confidential interview to discuss immigration issues.
