(1) Last week, DOJ announced it will be terminating two programs that give basic legal orientations to immigrants facing deportation without representation. #SaveDueProcess #SaveLOP

(2) DOJ also recently announced it will be imposing case quotas on immigration judges, a move slammed by current and former immigration judges as a “disaster” that will only slow down case processing and tank judicial efficiency

BREAKING: Yesterday, we learned DOJ is halting our Legal Orientation Program (LOP) as of April 30th. LOP ensures that all immigrants in detention are provided with essential information they need to navigate the complex legal system, serving over 50K per year. #SaveLOP

THREAD:
Why is LOP vital? In a nation with a long history of being a refuge for immigrants, we must ensure due process to our newest residents who have a legal claim to make this home. #SaveLOP
LOP has operated under Republican and Democratic administrations since its inception in 2003. It’s a legal lifeline for many immigrants – people who would otherwise not have access to due process in court. #SaveLOP
