Support Interpreters Fighting ICE Abductions

Access to interpretation is life-or-death for an asylum seeker. In the first months of the current administration, several interpreters on our team have enabled asylum seekers to be successful to secure their release from ICE captivity and win their asylum cases.  

Our interpreters are mobilizing at a moment’s notice to: 

• Enable attorneys and activist to fight for release following ICE arrests  
• Interpret asylum interviews which last from 3-8 hours and occur under more grueling conditions than ever before
• Translate asylum cases and other critical legal documents with almost no turnaround time 
• Accompany migrants and asylum seekers through countless hoops and obstacles; a single asylum case requiring a minimum of 30 hours of interpreting
