Northwest Immigrant Rights Project promotes justice by defending and advancing the rights of immigrants through direct legal services, systemic advocacy, and community education. NWIRP's legal services are critical to helping thousands of immigrants in the Pacific Northwest navigate the complexities of the United States immigration system so they can apply for asylum or other forms of immigration protection. Without appropriate legal assistance, the men, women and children served by NWIRP may be less likely to obtain legal immigration status, and more likely to be returned to a country where t...hey face ill treatment, torture, or even death. When laws and policies are unjust, we work for systemic change. During the last decade, we have positively affected many important cases with implications for national immigration laws. Our impact litigation work has helped fight racial profiling by border patrol officials in the Olympic Peninsula, secured the right to an attorney for mentally ill immigrants facing deportation, and ensured that immigrants are considered for conditional parole from detention when they qualify. Finally, as part of our mission to defend and advance the rights of immigrants, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project provides critical immigration-related advice and information to community members and a large network of service providers and attorneys while advocating for policies that will empower the immigrant community.
