About Me

[edit]

I am an editor based in the United States. I occasionally take an interest in creating, improving, or cleaning up specific articles, but otherwise generally spend my time wikignoming random articles, checking up on my watchlist, or looking out for vandalism.

I am currently cleaning between projects.

National Immigration Litigation Alliance (NILA) is a non-profit organization in Brookline, Massachusetts. NILA's mission is to "protect, enforce, and expand the rights of noncitizens and individuals perceived to be noncitizens through federal court litigation and to empower immigration lawyers with the support, skills, and guidance needed to pursue these goals."[1] NILA was founded in 2020.[2]

Work

[edit]

NILA engages in impact litigation in the federal courts. Their past lawsuits include challenges to conditions of confinement in short-term U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention facilities, to the expansion of Expedited removal, and to the denial of immigration benefits to people with Temporary protected status. [3][4][5][6][7]

NILA also regularly brings suits under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) seeking government records related to immigration policies.[8][9]

NILA publishes practice advisories, holds webinars, and provides co-counseling and strategic assistance to attorneys.[10] As part of this work, it maintains a partnership with the Children's Immigration Law Academy of the American Bar Association.[11]
