Freedom for Immigrants - San Francisco

Freedom for Immigrants provides each individual that it bonds out with critical legal and wrap-around services through its proven case management program to document, support, and enhance the likelihood of success for their case. Sometimes this support also includes housing with one of their sponsor volunteers. A person is eligible for their bond program if they: are a recent asylum seeker, who has been persecuted in their home country and detained by ICE within three months of entering the country;OR have been held in prolonged immigration detention for a minimum of 6 months;OR have been living in the country for over 10 years with a strong community presence;AND have been granted a bond by ICE or an immigration judge in California or Louisiana. They will prioritize the bonds of the people who meet the criteria above based on the following: have been assigned an immigration judge with low case grant rates (when Freedom for Immigrants bonds them out, they will be assigned a new judge on the non-detained docket);have an attorney or they reasonably believe an attorney can be secured once the person is released;have a Freedom for Immigrants sponsor;be connected with one of their visitation programs;have strong community ties;assessed to be self-sufficient with ability to cope in a non-clinical placement;pregnant;and are the primary caretaker of someone else.
