Sobre Nós
The Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition is now Amica Center for Immigrant Rights (“Amica Center” for short). Click here to learn more about our new name. Since our founding in 1999, we have grown significantly and added new services to support immigrants in detention. Recently, CAIR Coalition has outgrown our name, expanding beyond our initial services and geographic boundaries. “Amica” is the Latin word for “friend,” and that echoes the way we approach what we do. Just as friends stand with one another, Amica Center stands with our clients to achieve the safety, stability, and opportunity we all deserve.
DETAINED ADULT PROGRAM
The Detained Adult Program provides client-centered legal representation and trauma-sensitive support to adults detained by the government.
CHILDREN'S PROGRAM
Through free legal counsel, educational materials, and social services, our Children’s Program works with immigrant children detained by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) at juvenile facilities in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
IMMIGRATION IMPACT LAB
Our Immigration Impact Lab (“The Lab”) responds to these failings, strategically appealing cases, developing impact litigation, and launching advocacy efforts that have the potential to transform the system and establish new legal precedents for immigrants nationwide.
