National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) Executive Director Mary Meg McCarthy responded to the March 21 White House memo, “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Courts,” with the following statement:
“The National Immigrant Justice Center’s legal services have kept families together, freed people from the dangers of immigrant detention, and prevented the deportation of refugees and asylum seekers to harm. Our litigation has protected due process, access to justice, and the rule of law. Our legal staff hold ourselves to exacting legal and ethical standards while defending the human rights of some of the most vulnerable people on the planet. NIJC remains steadfast in our commitment to justice and our immigrant communities.”
