About Us

C

LINIC represents one expression of the Catholic Church’s commitment to the full membership of immigrants in their chosen society. CLINIC and its member agencies serve the most vulnerable immigrants, including refugees, asylum-seekers, detainees, separated families, exploited laborers, victims of domestic violence, and victims of human trafficking.

Mission Statement To enhance and expand delivery of legal services to indigent and low-income immigrants principally through diocesan immigration programs and to meet the immigration needs identified by the Catholic Church in the United States.

CLINIC fulfills its mission by:

In 1988, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) established CLINIC as a legally distinct 501(c)(3) organization to support a rapidly growing network of community-based immigration programs. CLINIC’s network originally comprised 17 programs. The network comprises 156 diocesan immigration programs with 255 field offices in 48 states.

The network employs roughly 1,200 attorneys and “accredited” paralegals who, in turn, serve 400,000 low-income immigrants each year. CLINIC and its member agencies represent low-income immigrants without reference to their race, religion, gender, ethnic group, or other distinguishing characteristics.

n Providing a full range of legal and non-legal support services to 156 member agencies comprised of Catholic legal immigration programs. Member agencies serve poor immigrants seeking family reunification, citizenship, and protection from persecution and violence. n Creating, funding and managing direct legal service projects that are national in scope and thus supplement local member agency capacity or expertise. n Representing archdioceses, dioceses, and religious congregations that need foreign-born priests, nuns and lay religious workers to serve immigrant communities in the United States. n Working in collaboration with the USCCB to advocate with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to improve immigration policies and practices.

Message from CLINIC’s Board Chairman and Executive Director

O

ne of the Catholic Church’s many gifts is that its commitments are not rooted in political expediency, but in its timeless teachings.

The main principle that guides its work with newcomers is well- Most Rev. Nicholas DiMarzio known: immigrants are our “brothers and sisters” created in God’s image. We have a duty to welcome them, and we benefit from allowing them to become full members of society.

In 2005, the Catholic Church in the United States stepped up its efforts in support of comprehensive immigration reform. The church teaches that, first and foremost, the undocumented are human beings. They are not the stereotypes that we hear about so frequently on television and radio. They do not menace our security and threaten our sovereignty. They do not come to take our jobs or monopolize our public services. The great majority simply want what we do in life. They want to live in security and to support their families.

They want to practice their faith and contribute to their new country. They want to build a future for their children. This is why they make the incredible sacrifices that they do. Pope John Paul II viewed migration as an act of self-determination. In fleeing inhuman conditions and seeking a better life for their families, migrants exercise their human dignity. In a sense, they become who they are called to be. We should honor, not scapegoat them.

Under the leadership of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), the church has begun to mobilize

in support of a program that could ultimately assist more than 10 million persons to gain legal status in the United States. If comprehensive legislation passes, CLINIC will play a central role in implementing it, both Donald Kerwin within the Catholic Church and in the larger network of charitable immigration service providers. We are confident that CLINIC is qualified and prepared to meet this historic challenge.

In his first encyclical Deus Caritas Est, Pope Benedict XVI wrote that it is the primary responsibility of the state to create a just society, but that the church can help the state to understand “what is just” and can contribute to justice through its own works of charity and service. “We contribute to a better world only by personally doing good now,” the Holy Father wrote. “The Christian’s program – the program of the Good Samaritan, the program of Jesus – is a ’heart which sees.’ This heart sees where love is needed and acts accordingly.” (Deus Caritas Est §§ 28(a) and 31(b)). Since 1988, CLINIC has contributed to justice for immigrants through its work. For the church, it has been a “heart which sees” the needs, aspirations, and gifts of newcomers. Its work has never been more important.

Most Rev. Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of Brooklyn, Chairman, CLINIC Board of Directors

Donald Kerwin, Executive Director

CLINIC served more than 400,000 immigrants in 2005.

n Began a volunteer project with the Knights of Columbus that filed 1,610 citizenship applications for immigrants from 49 countries.

CLINIC concluded the first year of a citizenship project in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The DC Citizenship Project provides citizenship outreach and application assistance to low-income lawful permanent residents. The DC Citizenship Project helped 663 applicants from 46 different countries.

Empower n Created a national plan to naturalize and integrate the eight million immigrants currently eligible for citizenship. n Continued participation in a working group of advocates that met regularly with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to discuss the planned redesign of the citizenship test. n Released the 3rd edition of the manual, Citizenship for Us: A Handbook on Naturalization and Citizenship, one of the resources CLINIC uses to support its member agencies.

“We maintain a good working relationship with the CLINIC staff and frequently consult with and assist each other.

We are very fortunate to have CLINIC attorneys present in our building and that is helping us to have more confidence in serving the community.”

“One of the best ways to understand current challenges in the immigration field is to be working directly with immigrants and with those who serve them. CLINIC is a respected policy voice and agent for change on the national level, because of its effectiveness on the ground in representing immigrants and supporting grass-roots immigration programs.�

Advocacy Advocacy & Federal Litigation CLINIC’s Division of Public Education and Advocacy works in collaboration with Migration and Refugee Services of the USCCB to appeal to the DHS and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to change the policies and procedures that impede newcomers from obtaining immigration benefits for which they are legally eligible.

CLINIC’s team of advocates: n Commented on governmental regulations, procedures and implementation—often at the behest of member agencies. n Met regularly, as part of the DHS enforcement working group, with officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and

Hurricane Katrina Towards the end of 2005, CLINIC used a grant from the Open Society Institute to develop an immigration advocacy program in the Gulf Coast areas afflicted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. New challenges to immigrant rights arose almost immediately.

Post-Katrina Needs CLINIC began to monitor immigration developments and to assist agencies in the hurricane-affected areas. Besides trainings and direct advocacy, CLINIC designed “Know Your Rights” materials, a special website for advocates, and Public Service Announcements on workers’ safety and immigration issues. Its bi-weekly newsletter updated advocates in the impacted areas.

CLINIC’s Post-Katrina newsletter is available on the website, www.cliniclegal.org

Secured release from ISAP for individuals, and monitored conditions of individuals participating in ISAP. n Attended regular meetings with USCIS Headquarters and the DHS Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Regularly raised questions from affiliate members at these meetings.

As a leading member of JFI, CLINIC actively assisted the campaign to achieve all four of its primary objectives: 1 to educate the public, especially the Catholic community, about Church teaching on migration and immigrants; 2 to create political will for positive immigration reform; 3 to enact legislative and administrative reforms based on the principles articulated by the Bishops; and 4 to prepare Catholic networks to assist qualified immigrants in obtaining the benefits of the reforms.

Accomplishments n Mobilized a growing network of Catholic institutions, individuals, and other persons of good faith in support of the bishops’ policy positions on immigration. n Helped build the network’s capacity to provide competent legal services to undocumented people seeking to benefit from immigration reform legislation. n Produced educational and outreach materials intended to help undocumented people and their church-based supporters.

Defending the Most Vulnerable Asylum-Seekers and Torture Survivors CLINIC’s detention lawyers represent asylumseekers and victims of torture as well as other noncitizens detained by the DHS. CLINIC’s Los Angeles office also represents unaccompanied detained children. CLINIC: n Represented asylum-seekers and torture survivors in Immigration Court removal proceedings. n Helped persons granted asylum to access benefits through information provided by its National Asylee Information and Referral Line. n Updated the informational pamphlet, Asylee Eligibility for Resettlement Assistance: A Short Guide and distributed 1,000 copies.

Minors in Detention Most unaccompanied children are teenagers, but some are as young as eight or ten years old. They are held in group homes or shelter care facilities away from family. The federal government does not provide indigent unaccompanied children with legal counsel.

CLINIC filled the gap when it: n Secured representation for detained children who had viable claims to political asylum and other forms of relief from removal. n Made 35 legal rights presentations to 76 children, advised 170 children, and fielded 800 phone calls for advice and referrals on detained children’s issues.

In 2005, immigration authorities detained 6,840 unaccompanied noncitizen children.

Justice Victims of Violence Immigrant survivors of violence are particularly vulnerable to the power and control of abusers because they typically need to rely upon their permanent-resident or U.S. citizen spouses to legalize their immigration status. Attorneys from the Division of Training and Technology Support: n Provided technical assistance, direct services, and training on the immigration relief available to victims of abuse or other crimes. n Initiated a project called Training Florida Law Enforcement to Help Abused Immigrants. n Co-authored two important and widely-used manuals: The VAWA Manual: Immigration Relief for Abused Immigrants and A Guide for Legal Advocates Providing Services to Victims of Human Trafficking.

The Asylee help line offers information in 19 languages. In 2005, 3,906 asylees from 71 nations took advantage of the line, receiving nearly 9,500 referrals.

Immigrant Workers’ Justice Project CLINIC helped promote workers’ rights, which many immigrants rely on heavily to earn a living. Staff members: n Provided technical advice and legal assistance on employment and labor law issues to member agencies nationwide. n Prepared materials to help educate immigrant workers in the Gulf Coast Region about their rights.

Responded to calls and requests from member agencies for legal advice and materials. n Shared expertise on the legal effects of the Hoffman Plastic decision – that undocumented workers who are illegally fired for engaging in union organizing activities are not entitled to receive back pay. n Collaborated with national immigrant rights organizations and unions to promote justice in the workplace for low-wage immigrant workers.

Fairness

Detained Long-Term Residents and Indefinite Detainees

SPECIAL CASE: Mariel Cubans

The vast majority of detainees are adult men.

Many of them are breadwinners for their families. Children of these detainees suffer serious emotional and economic consequences when their parents are removed from the United States. CLINIC detention attorneys: n Helped individuals with claims to relief from removal to apply for pre-hearing release.

rkin – FO TOLIA © Jim Pa

Approximately 962 detainees currently are held in “indefinite” detention.

n Engaged practitioners from across the country in providing services to Mariel Cubans in light of the Supreme Court case. n Worked with affiliates in New Orleans and Miami to serve released Cubans.

n Provided representation in Immigration Court to detainees with claims for relief, such as political asylum and certain waivers available for longterm residents with strong ties to U.S. families and communities. n Represented 42 noncitizens in seeking waivers from removal.

In early January, the Supreme Court decided Clark v.

Martinez, which held that individuals such as Mariel Cubans could not be held indefinitely by DHS after being ordered deported if their countries do not accept them. CLINIC:

n Published its third comprehensive report on indefinite detention. n Improved legal assistance for indefinite detainees who must press the government to review their cases. n Provided legal information workshops to 72 indefinite detainees, and represented three detainees seeking release.

n Compiled and distributed data on indefinitely detained Cubans.

www.cliniclegal.org

17

Empowerment Legal Rights Orientation Attorneys from CLINIC and partner organizations meet with incoming detainees at large detention facilities to explain their rights under U.S. immigration law. According to EOIR estimates, detainees spend an average of two fewer days in detention as a result of the knowledge they gain from these legal orientation presentations.

CLINIC worked closely with diocesan member agencies to plan for potential federal contract bids for legal rights orientations.

Legal orientation presentations also permit rare access behind the walls of detention facilities, which allows for better evaluation of the conditions of immigrant detention.

Detention Watch Network

James R. Tourtell

otte

CLINIC, the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, and the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service founded the Detention Watch Network (DWN) in 1997 in response to the rapid growth of the U.S. immigration detention system. The network involves more than 100 religious, civil, immigrant and human rights organizations, as well as some 1,500 individuals.

CLINIC participates on a steering committee of 13 organizations that re-established DWN as a membership coalition comprised of organizations and individuals concerned with the vast increase in immigration detention and the lack of protection for the rights of those detained.

In November, 2005, DWN hosted a networking conference. Former detainees, legal workers, pastoral workers, and others attended. It also engaged in policy analysis, and served as a catalyst for member advocacy with federal immigration officials.

CLINIC gave 286 legal orientation sessions to 6,300 detainees in 2005.

“The Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. is one of the Church’s best kept secrets. It plays an indispensable role in the Catholic Church’s ministry to newcomers in the United States. We have been accurately called a church of immigrants in a nation of immigrants.

With record numbers of newcomers in our pews and in our nation, this is as true now as it has ever been. CLINIC’s work has never been more important to the Church and to our nation’s newest members.”

—His Eminence Theodore Cardinal McCarrick
