Message from CLINIC’s Board Chairman and Executive Director

In 2001, the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC) faced growing demand for its traditional services and particular challenges resulting from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The growth of the agency’s operational responsibilities was due in large part to the increase in the number and sophistication of CLINIC’s member agencies. By year-end, CLINIC supported 242 Catholic immigration offices, most of which handled a wide array of immigration cases. The need for quality legal representation for our nation’s historic population of immigrants increased during the year.

The events of September 11th altered the policy debate and environment for newcomers to the United States. Prior to September 11th, the U.S.-Mexico dialogue appeared to be paving the way for a legalization program for select foreign-born workers. The attacks temporarily halted and toned down expectations for these talks. They also led, in short order, to sweeping anti-terrorism legislation and to a steady stream of Department of Justice “interim” regulations, internal instructions, and enforcement measures targeting the foreign-born. CLINIC played an active role in the advocacy, analysis, and dissemination of information on these changes in law and policy.

Perhaps most importantly, September 11th forced Catholic immigration programs to re-examine the values that underlie their work. The views the experience of migration as its heritage, from the Exodus, to the Exile, to the Holy Family’s flight to Egypt, to the missionary work of St. Paul and the early Church, to the growth of an “immigrant church” in the United States. We stand in solidarity with migrants fleeing extreme poverty, natural disaster, and persecution, and with the victims of terrorism. We value security and the integration of law-abiding immigrants into our nation’s life. We want to prevent terrorists from entering the United States, but find migrant crossing deaths unconscionable. CLINIC and its member agencies exist to promote the God-given rights of immigrant families, low-wage laborers, and asylum-seekers. In serving newcomers, we believe that we serve our God.

She became pregnant and found herself in INS custody at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, facing deportation to a country in which she had no known relatives.

A CLINIC attorney worked to prepare Teresa’s petition for special Special Projects immigrant juvenile status, a visa that is available to children who have been the victims of abuse, abandonment and neglect. As required, Teresa’s attorney requested the consent of the state juvenile court to determine if abuse had occurred. Once consent was granted, the CLINIC attorney worked with an attorney in the state Dependency Court to gather the documentation required for the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status petition.Throughout this long process,Teresa remained detained. In the end, her application was approved and the Immigration Judge granted her request to become a legal resident of the United States.Teresa was released to her extended family. CASE STUDYCASE – Once released,Teresa re-enrolled in school and received the support that she needed during the duration of her pregnancy. Her goals are to continue her studies, be a good mother, go to college and become a United States citizen. CLINIC
