Referrals for Unaccompanied Children

Referrals for Unaccompanied Children

Call for referrals to the pro bono habeas project for unaccompanied children (UC) detained in Office for Refugee Resettlement (ORR) custody.

If you are representing a detained unaccompanied child in ORR custody or have been consulted about an unaccompanied child stuck in ORR custody, and you would like to refer that case to the Children's Due Process Project, we are accepting referrals.  We match UC who have a family member/potential caregiver in the United States (a.k.a. a sponsor) with pro bono habeas counsel, even while their immigration cases are ongoing including on appeal. If you only have capacity for immigration representation, but you think your detained UC client would benefit from habeas advocacy as well (which can potentially slow down their immigration proceedings), please consider referring! 

Email [email protected] to request the referral form, and visit childrensdueprocess.org for more info about the project.
