Acacia fights for access to legal defense for all immigrants at risk of detention or deportation. Without a lawyer, many immigrants seeking safety end up detained and deported with no real chance to fight their cases. This injustice separates families, harms communities, and undermines due process. Escalating ICE raids have shown how quickly human rights are eroded when immigrants are under attack, putting us all at risk. You have the power to do something about it, let us show you how.
