I came to the U.S. in the winter of 2006. Life back home in Mexico was tough for me and my family. I dreamt of going to college and graduating but with my family’s economic status, that dream was too costly and impossible.
At least I was able to graduate high school and that is something I am proud of since I was also working at the time to help my family. I was always looking for an opportunity to have a better life as a young woman.June 23, 2023

Tahirih Comments in Response to Proposed Rules on Representation in Immigration Court
The Tahirih Justice Center submits the following comments to the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) in response to the proposed rule published on September 23, 2020. Tahirih strongly opposes the proposed rule insofar as it declines to expand limited in-person representation in immigration court, while threatening the existing Friend of the Court program. The proposed rule also refuses to remedy local procedures that effectively bar counsel of record and prospective counsel from accessing the record of proceedings in a case.
