Dolores Street Deportation Defense and Legal Advocacy Program

Since 2008, the City of San Francisco and other generous supporters have funded Dolores Street’s attorneys to provide pro bono legal defense for individuals facing deportation from the United States.   We use legal and creative advocacy strategies to directly challenge prolonged detention, constitutional violations, and other injustices in the immigration legal system.  We also collaborate with base building and civil rights organizations, and play a leading role in advocacy efforts on the local and state level.
