Meeting the Challenge – ICE in Wisconsin – Nov 14

Updated on

Please join Dharma Action for Non-Violence and Awareness (DANA) on Saturday, November 14, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Bayview Community Center (103 La Mariposa Lane, Madison).

Grant Sovern, founding board member of the Community Immigration Law Center (CILC), will provide an update on local immigration proceedings. Together, we aim to raise essential funds 

to help CILC expand 

its legal team and support individuals facing removal proceedings.

Why It Matters
Every month, approximately 200 immigrants in Wisconsin are detained by ICE and face deportation. Without legal representation, most are deported. CILC attorneys help navigate immigration courts with success rates far exceeding the national average, but each case costs $5,000. For more information, please watch this 5-minute video:
