Loyola Law School’s Immigrant Justice Clinic
This upcoming semester, Loyola Law School’s Immigrant Justice Clinic is excited to introduce their first alternative
spring break program to El Paso, Texas. During this trip, five law students will have the opportunity to defend
undocumented detainees in one of America’s toughest immigration courts. In hopes of covering costs, the
participating students have written grant proposals and created a go fund-me to raise funds for their trip, but are still
$5,000 short of their goal.
In addition to in court representation, attending students will visit the border with Border Patrol and meet with
Mexican Officials in Juarez to discuss the affects of the upcoming year on the U.S.-Mexican border. Given the
incoming administration’s extensive proposed changes to immigration policies, the students have organized the trip
to help educate themselves and prepare to be effective advocates upon their graduation in 2017.
Loyola Law School has graciously offered to give receipts for any donations so that the donors may receive 501(c)(3)
deductions for the upcoming tax filing. If you are interested in making an online donation, please do so at
https://webdb.lls.edu/giving/index.php?f=113, with the designation to the Immigrant Justice Clinic with special
instruction to El Paso Alternative Spring Break.
