Rapid Legal Response Initiative
In response to growing legal needs associated with immigration detention and enforcement activity, The Office of New Americans, in partnership with Seton Hall University, is launching the Rapid Legal Response Initiative to expand statewide legal capacity for emergency immigration defense matters, including habeas corpus petitions and other federal litigation.
The initiative will focus on:
- Recruiting and training attorneys;
- Expanding emergency legal support capacity; and
- Coordinating rapid legal response efforts statewide.
Attorneys who are interested in volunteering can sign up HERE or reach out to RLRI@shu.edu
If you know a NJ resident who has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and needs legal support, please complete this DDDI referral form .
