Immigration Know Your Rights Webinar

Immigration Know Your Rights Webinar

LGBTQ+ immigrants and families face unique challenges when navigating the U.S. immigration system. The incoming federal administration has announced plans to remove existing protections and intensify deportation efforts, making it more crucial than ever to understand your rights and be familiar with available resources.

On January 14, 2025, GLAD Law, National Center for Lesbian Rights, Political Asylum/Immigration Representation (PAIR) Project, and Ropes & Gray hosted a discussion about our community’s rights, resources for LGBTQ+ immigrants and asylum seekers, and the immigration system.

The entire webinar is available below. Find additional information on our Asylum, Detention, and Immigration Rights and Resources page.

Featuring

• Hannah Hussey, Staff Attorney, GLAD Law
• Pam Mercado Garcia, Immigration Program Associate, National Center for Lesbian Rights
• Marianne Staniunas, Pro Bono Immigration Counsel, Ropes & Gray LLP
• Irene C. Freidel, Detention Program Manager, Political Asylum/Immigration Representation (PAIR) Project

This webinar provides legal information, not legal advice, and you should consult with an immigration expert to discuss your specific situation. Immigration law is an area of law that may change rapidly. It is important to seek up-to-date information from a trusted source, such as a reputable immigration attorney or an organization with specialization in immigration law.
