Pangea provides full-scope legal representation to immigrants in both detained and non-detained immigration court proceedings. Our services are low fee and free, and our clients are newcomers and long-term residents in the United States. We focus on providing representation in the area of deportation defense; approximately 80% of our clients are in deportation proceedings.
Pangea provides the following service:
DETAINED REMOVAL DEFENSE- We represent detained immigrants in bond proceedings, removal hearings, and in encounters with ICE and asylum officials. We believe that no person should be detained for exercising their freedom to move, and are working hard with our clients, families, and our partner organizations to expose the harm immigration detention inflicts on individuals and entire communities.
NON-DETAINED REMOVAL DEFENSE-We believe that everyone has the right to move and resettle around the world with dignity and respect. That’s why we work to stop deportations in immigration court and find a way for people to remain in the U.S. with their families and loved ones.
OUR FEES- Pangea is dedicated to making high quality legal services more accessible to immigrant communities. We offer pro-bono and low-bono services in for individuals in removal proceedings and those currently being held in immigrant detention.
Community Empowerment- Pangea also strives to build a community-led deportation defense model that does more than provide high-quality representation. We create space for our clients to become agents of change in their communities by connecting them with local grassroots groups and opportunities to share their stories with the public, media, and elected officials.
