How to defend your own case

These self-help materials are designed for people who are detained to use in representing themselves when applying for some common forms of legal relief from removal. These publications are meant to provide useful basic information about immigration law and detention in removal in Arizona and were created in the course of the Florence Project’s work. Under no circumstances do they constitute legal advice.

General Resources

  • Integrating Social Services (a publication prepared in 2002 on how to integrate legal and social services to immigrants in ICE custody)

(Please note that this guide is written for parents who are already detained in Arizona. For more information on how to make an emergency plan to protect parental rights before being arrested by immigration, please go see our guide here.)
