No Borders NewsThe Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), a national nonprofit that supports immigrant communities, released a statement marking the one-year anniversary of the Trump administration. ILRC says it has been working to push back against policies it describes as harmful to immigrants and families.
In the statement, ILRC says it plans to keep providing up-to-date legal and policy analysis and resources for immigrant communities. The group also says it will continue testifying before elected officials and working to address what it calls collusion between local police and federal immigration enforcement.
ILRC also describes ongoing “courthouse watch” efforts, where volunteers and partners monitor scheduled court hearings to help ensure people are not left alone while they face possible arrest, detention, or deportation. The organization frames this as part of its broader effort to protect people who are navigating immigration-related court processes.
The statement further says ILRC will continue advocating against the expansion of detention centers and will demand increased funding for essential immigration legal services. It also says it will fight efforts it describes as limiting access to immigration benefits and naturalization, especially for Black and Brown communities.
Finally, ILRC says it is encouraged by polling it cites and calls for ICE to be abolished, or at minimum for Congress to end ICE funding and redirect that money toward housing, healthcare, and other essential needs. The statement does not describe specific new rules or court decisions, so readers should treat it as an advocacy update rather than a change in immigration law.
