IN 2024, ILCM HANDLED 46 CASES THROUGH THE HUB PROJECT. TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS PROJECT: THIS PROJECT PROVIDES REPRESENTATION FOR INDIVIDUALS FROM COUNTRIES GRANTED TPS FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS). TPS IS A TEMPORARY IMMIGRATION STATUS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNABLE TO RETURN HOME SAFELY DUE TO CIVIL WAR, NATURAL DISASTER, OR OTHER CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES PREVENTING THEIR RETURN TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY. DURING THE DESIGNATED TPS PERIOD, TPS HOLDERS CANNOT BE DEPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES AND CANNOT BE DETAINED BY DHS ON THE BASIS OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. TPS HOLDERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AN EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION DOCUMENT (EAD) AND FOR TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION. 356430 46754 COMMUNITY DEFENSE PROJECT: THIS PROJECT RESPONDS TO THE EVOLVING NEED FOR DEPORTATION DEFENSE TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER. THE PROJECT PROVIDES ADVICE AND BRIEF SERVICE TO DETAINEES IN CUSTODY, REPRESENTS DETAINED AND NON-DETAINED CLIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR ASYLUM OR OTHER PROTECTIONS AGAINST DEPORTATION, AND PRESENTS APPEALS TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED FUNDAMENTAL LIBERTIES OF IMMIGRANTS.

THIS PAST YEAR, AFTER THE PASSAGE OF "DRIVER'S LICENSES FOR ALL" (2023), WE SERVED AS A CRUCIAL LIAISON BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF VEHICLE SERVICES (DVS), ENSURING THAT COMMUNITY NEEDS WERE EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATED TO DVS WHILE ALSO RELAYING DVS' QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. ILCM ALSO ADVOCATED HEAVILY FOR ALL MINNESOTANS, REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS, TO ACCESS MINNESOTACARE, HEALTH INSURANCE OFFERED BY THE MN DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES. IN NOVEMBER, IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT MINNESOTACARE EXPANDED ITS COVERAGE TO ALLOW UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE TO APPLY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. HISTORICALLY, LACK OF INSURANCE FOR UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO DISPARITIES IN HEALTH CARE ACCESS, HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND QUALITY OF LIFE. EXPANDED ELIGIBILITY WILL HELP DECREASE STRESS ON EMERGENCY ROOMS BY ENCOURAGING PREVENTATIVE CARE, LOWER COSTS, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ALL MINNESOTANS. 55013 EDUCATION: ILCM COMPLEMENTS ITS LEGAL ADVICE AND REPRESENTATION SERVICES WITH QUALITY EDUCATION AND TRAINING SESSIONS, INCLUDING CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION (CLE) SESSIONS AND COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS ON A VARIETY OF IMMIGRATION-RELATED SUBJECTS.
