UnFucker HERBYBUG317: Kids and Immigration
HERBYBUG317 is the winner for October’s Unfucker of the Month award!
“I work for a local non-profit in the Phoenix area, providing legal assistance to kids detained by immigration. When kids are caught by immigration (without parents present) they are turned over to the Office of Refugee Resettlement for housing while they go through removal proceedings. These may be kids from many places, but Phoenix mostly gets kids from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Mexico. We explain to the kids what is happening legally and do an assessment of each kid’s case to see if they qualify for a visa. If they do, we help them look for a lawyer who will fight their case pro bono. Sometimes our own staff lawyers take on their cases. I help identify cases and prepare the case by getting the child’s story and biographical information as well as explaining the process they will be going through.”
