ICARE is a coalition of legal services organizations dedicated to expanding access to legal representation for immigrant children facing deportation in New York City, while advocating for universal access to counsel. ICARE’s Advisory Council is composed of five legal services organizations: Catholic Charities Community Services, Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), Legal Aid Society, Safe Passage Project, and The Door. We envision a New York City where every immigrant child has access to legal representation in immigration court. We believe in the transformative power of community & partnership, uniting our diverse strengths to create a thriving network of support and collaboration. We embrace innovation & expertise, ensuring that we continually provide quality legal services while pushing for forward-thinking solutions. Our approach is rooted in being client-centered & trauma informed, ensuring that every interaction is empathetic, respectful, and sensitive to the needs of each young person. Advocacy is at the heart of our mission, as we champion the rights, voices and dignity of young immigrants. We are dedicated to fostering autonomy by encouraging young immigrants to make informed decisions and take ownership of their choices.

Project Rousseau offers full-scope, comprehensive immigration services. This includes a full screening with an attorney or Department of Justice accredited representative, to assess a family’s suitability for immigration relief. It is our policy not to host pro-se clinics, because we believe that families with a strong immigration relief claim deserve the right to quality legal representation. These services are intended to serve all communities, with the families we have screened hailing from 17 different countries. Furthering that end, we have hosted eight asylum information sessions at various public fora across the city and assisted over 300 individuals with change-of-address forms relevant to their immigration relief applications. Our full-scope legal representation extends to over 250 individuals: our caseload includes defensive and affirmative asylum applications, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status petitions, and U-Visa applications.
