In April of 2024, the IIP convened elected prosecutors, defense attorneys, academics, and immigration advocates to explore how prosecutors can protect immigrant communities. We discussed strategies for increasing immigrant communities’ trust in the legal system, creating policies to mitigate immigration consequences, and supporting immigrant survivors of crime. 

Shortly after the convening, we partnered with several prosecutors’ offices as part of our new immigration pilot programs. We are working with these offices, alongside immigration experts, to develop immigration policies and trainings promoting fairness and safety for immigrant communities.
