DEAR FRIENDS,
The words of Maya Angelou never seemed more fitting: “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” The Immigration Institute of the Bay Area was founded in 1918, the year of the great IIBA pandemic. One hundred and three years later, IIBA remains a pillar in the communities we “ serve, with a team as committed today as our founders surely were in 1918. We take comfort HELPED in that. ME TO SEE Through a year marked by gut-wrenching loss and inhumane immigration policies, by A FUTURE shelter-in-place orders, devastating wildfires, and racial reckoning, the IIBA team has met FOR extraordinary challenges with creative resilience, reinventing our service delivery models to meet our clients’ ever-changing needs. MYSELF.”
Since we have sheltered in place, our services have been virtual but the impact has —IIBA client been real. IIBA has completed over 800 DACA renewal applications, covered the cost of the DACA renewals for over 800 clients at a savings of over $400,000 for our clients, outreached to 10,500 individuals to encourage participation in the census, provided over 3,000 legal consultations, partnered with law firms to provide 25 virtual immigration workshops, and assisted hundreds more with applications for citizenship, family petitions, humanitarian visas, and deportation defense. We have been changed, but not reduced.
If anything, bolstered by the unwavering dedication of family, friends, and community members like you, we have become stronger. On behalf of the Board and staff of IIBA, thank you for standing alongside us during a time of profound upheaval and uncertainty. This annual report highlights the work you have enabled us to do: helping some amazing people build a more secure future in this country.
Today IIBA stands strong on the foundation of our past, looking forward to brighter days ahead, working all the while to create a more just, more equitable, and more inclusive world.

The statistics:
Immigrants with access to legal counsel are five times more likely to win their deportation defense cases. IIBA’S DEPORTATION Yet in immigration court, DEFENSE individuals do not have a right to legal counsel if they cannot afford it. SERVICES HELP FAMILIES According to the American Immigration Council, only 37 percent of immigrants are able to obtain legal representation in their deportation defense cases.
Our response:
In 2019, IIBA launched our Deportation Defense Program to defend immigrants placed into removal proceedings who cannot afford legal representation. Since then, IIBA has hired five additional attorneys who are representing 117 individuals in deportation cases.

Born in Mexico, he has called the United States home since he was eight years old. Yet because of his legal status, Jon never thought college would be an option for him. That changed when DACA was announced in 2012. After Jon secured DACA status, he could obtain a driver’s license, work authorization, and protection from deportation. However, with renewal required every two years at a cost of $495 per renewal, maintaining DACA became a heavy burden. Jon learned how IIBA could help lift that burden when he attended IIBA’s free legal clinic at Diablo Valley College. Jon and his wife Yesenia, whom he met when they were teenagers in their church youth group, married in 2017. Yesenia, a U.S. citizen, is now in the process of petitioning for Jon’s permanent residency with the help of IIBA’s legal team. 6 IMPACT OF DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS: OCTAVIO’S STORY
