Edit: this “Catholic” organization which is attempting to fast track people from third world countries where they can be exploited for cheap labor and criminal activities, poor things, by unscrupulous and evil people, doesn’t seem to have any actual Catholics in its legal team. They all belong to a tiny rootless cosmopolitan group, maybe it’s just a cohencidence?
Founded in 1988 by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), CLINIC is the nation's largest network of nonprofit immigration legal services.
What CLINIC Does
CLINIC does not typically provide direct legal representation to the general public from its national office. Instead, it serves as the "backbone" for a massive network of local organizations.
* Network Scale: It supports over 250 affiliates across 47 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
* Capacity Building: They provide training, legal expertise, and technical support to the attorneys and Department of Justice (DOJ) accredited representatives who work in local offices.
* Advocacy: They advocate for pro-immigrant policies at the federal level and promote the "welcome the stranger" Gospel value.
* Special Projects: They manage specialized initiatives like the BIA Pro Bono Project, which matches volunteer attorneys with immigrants who have cases before the Board of Immigration Appeals.
How to Find Local Help
If you or someone you know needs actual legal assistance, you should look for one of CLINIC’s local affiliates, which often operate through Catholic Charities.
| Organization Type | What They Provide |
|---|---|
| Local Catholic Charities | Direct legal services (consultations, green card renewals, asylum, etc.). |
| Cabrini Center (Houston) | A major regional example of a high-volume Catholic legal clinic. |
| Catholic Migration Services | Specifically focused on low-income residents in areas like New York City
