As New Mexicans, we recognize immigrants as an integral part of our community and history. We know that all New Mexicans contribute to the health, safety, economic prosperity, and vitality of our beautiful state. With your partnership, NMILC works every day to break down systemic barriers that hinder opportunity, opening pathways for immigrant families to thrive and contribute fully to the fabric of our beloved home, New Mexico.

Across the country, unprecedented division and anti-immigrant sentiment are dominating national politics. This rhetoric scapegoats immigrants and pits communities against one another – and it is harmful and false. We know that welcoming immigrants makes our communities safer and more prosperous. Our collective well-being grows when all community members, regardless of the country of their birth, can live to their fullest potential.

Standing against a growing tide of nativist policies, New Mexico achieves its greatest potential when we remain committed to inclusion and interconnectedness over division and fear. For nearly 15 years, NMILC has worked in partnership with our incredible volunteers, donors, pro bono attorneys, and foundations to show the nation what an inclusive community can look like. While divisive policies erode trust and safety throughout the United States, your support continues to strengthen New Mexico.

In 2024, NMILC’s innovative community-centered work delivered lifesaving legal aid to those in need and opened new doors for immigrant families. Thousands of detained individuals gained access to critical legal information, our communities benefited from an influx of skilled workers, and we enacted groundbreaking protections for immigrant youth. None of this work would be possible without you. Your impact as a NMILC supporter is writ large across every page of this annual report. Each story brings us closer to a future where we are all safer, stronger, and more connected.

With a new federal administration, immigrant rights are entering a time of profound chaos and uncertainty. The road before us will be extraordinary in its challenges, but we have spent nearly 15 years preparing to meet this moment.

Thank you for standing with us at this critical time. Over the last several months, we have witnessed an unprecedented surge of interest and commitment from so many of you. It’s only through your generous contributions of time, talent, and treasure that we can continue to do this work together, against all odds. As long as you remain committed to a New Mexico where every person is treated with dignity and respect, we will continue to fight for the future New Mexico deserves.

Adelante!

NMILC REMOVES BARRIERS TO THE WORKFORCE

Economic Growth Fueled by Innovation

**Volunteer Henry Torres, right, works with a client during the asylum clinic at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church.**

With your support, NMILC has transformed how legal services are delivered to immigrants seeking work authorization in New Mexico. Our innovative clinic model maximizes impact while minimizing attorney time. By combining volunteer power, technology, and community partnerships, we’ve helped over 500 asylum seekers begin their journey toward stable employment since Spring 2022.

Our monthly clinics operate with remarkable efficiency. Working alongside trained volunteers, just two or three staff members can help a dozen clients complete complex immigration applications in a single session.

This work has a direct impact on our clients’ economic mobility. Internal evaluations show 80% of clients who obtained work authorization saw wage increases, while 88% pursued new career opportunities previously unavailable to them. National studies suggest that within five years of gaining legal status, immigrants’ wages increase by an average of 15%.

When urgent needs arise, your support allows us to quickly adapt our clinic model to meet them. In 2022, we launched a project to secure asylum for Afghans, and we have continued to serve these clients as they have progressed through different stages of their applications. To date we have achieved a 100% approval rate for asylum applications for 58 Afghan clients. Including their family members, this means we’ve secured asylum protection for 144 people.

We also help skilled professionals escape un- and under-employment by transferring their credentials and licenses from Afghanistan. With permanent asylum protection and work permits, NMILC’s clients have been able to fill skilled labor shortages across New Mexico — including in healthcare — as these specialists bring much-needed expertise and services into our communities.

More recently, we helped Venezuelan immigrants apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), submitting applications for 90 individuals since October 2023. TPS offers work authorization and deportation protections for immigrants in the U.S. who cannot safely return to their home countries. Our rapid-response clinics create immediate pathways to legal employment when opportunities arise.

JENNIFER’S STORY

A Job and a Future

2023 was a milestone year for Jennifer S. While completing her high school studies, she worked with our legal team to secure a work permit through her status as a Special Immigrant Juvenile. Shortly after graduation, she began her first job as a server at a restaurant. “When I got my work permit, I felt so much happiness,” Jennifer says. “I said to myself, ‘Now I have a future ahead of me.’” With NMILC supporters paving the way, Jennifer is authorized to work and is saving up the money she earns to put toward nursing school.

Leslie Villagomez, a fellow in our Equal Justice Works Crime Victim Advocacy Program, sees how human trafficking abuses can often overlap with labor rights abuses. Expanding her core work of helping crime survivors obtain U visas and T visas, your support has also allowed Leslie to tackle wage theft and labor violations affecting temporary agricultural workers. In collaboration with other advocacy groups, Leslie conducted outreach in Farmington to educate agricultural workers about their legal rights and protections. “I have plans in the future to keep educating the community about workers’ rights,” she says.

Fighting for Workers’ Rights

Immigrants are an essential component of New Mexico’s economic vitality. According to the American Immigration Council, immigrants make up 15% of self-employed business owners in New Mexico, generating $275,081,633 in total annual revenue. One in eight workers in our state labor force is an immigrant, filling employment gaps in under-staffed industries, paying taxes, and contributing to New Mexico’s economic growth.

A Boost to Small Business

Our Economic Justice (EJ) team hosts workshops to assist with business formation, licenses, permits, and tax education specific to the situations of immigrant entrepreneurs and independent contractors.

In January 2024, we began using pro bono attorneys with specialized skills to work one-on-one with clients during and between clinics. We partner with Color Theory, a collaborative group of nonprofits and banking entities, to remove regulatory barriers to professional, occupational, and commercial licensing. Our team also educates clients about new federal reporting requirements that can be challenging for immigrant small business owners.

With your support in 2024

295

applications submitted for work permits.

174

clients received legal assistance to renew their residency, ensuring their access to the workplace.

Our Theory of Change

Our Theory of Change is a visual representation of the strategies we believe are necessary to achieve our long-term goals and the methods we believe are foundational to our work. In collaboration with our organizational partners, we engage in policy, education and advocacy, direct services, and leadership development. Each of these work areas support and inform the other, contributing to increased civic engagement and a more equitable justice system.

NMILC PROTECTS SURVIVORS OF ABUSE AND PERSECUTIONSAID’S STORY

After three years, a family is whole again

**Thanks to your support, NMILC was able to secure asylum status for Said Farhang, second from left, along with his son, Omid, 2, wife Sediqa, and daughter, Ilhan, 5.**

Said Farhang is a former Afghan attorney who prosecuted Taliban members and worked alongside the Americans in his country. His service should have ensured the safety of his family, but the Farhangs were torn apart during the chaotic and deadly evacuation of Afghanistan in 2021.

While Said reached the U.S., his family — wife Sediqa, a midwife, and their two small children, Ilhan, then 2 years, and Omid, then 5 months — were forced to flee to Pakistan, where they lived as refugees for several years.

“It was the hardest time of my life,” says Sediqa. In Pakistan, she faced harassment when venturing outside the small apartment she shared with two other families. Meanwhile, their young daughter struggled with health issues without access to proper medical care.

Because of your support, NMILC’s Pro Se Plus project for Afghan asylum seekers was ready to fight for the Farhangs. Volunteer Joan Friedland, under the guidance of Managing Attorney Sophia Genovese, remembers taking on the family’s case. “I felt like it was such an urgent situation,” Joan says. “Although I try to maintain distance between myself and my clients, I felt a personal stake in their case because it was desperate, and it was our own government that was not responding as it should have.”

NMILC’s request for humanitarian parole was approved for the Farhang family, despite less than 1% of these cases receiving approval nationwide. “It was one thing to do the asylum application for Said here in the U.S.,” says Joan. “But it felt especially important to be able to file the humanitarian parole applications to bring his family here, too, and reunite them.”

The family was reunited at the Albuquerque International Sunport in July 2024. “When I arrived, I didn’t know if I was on the ground or in the sky. I couldn’t believe it,” says Sediqa.

Today, daughter Ilhan is 5 years old and attending preschool in Albuquerque. In
Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, girls can only be educated through sixth grade. Said and Sediqa are grateful that both their children can now receive a full education. “I want to raise my kids here,” Said says. “I want a good future for them and to educate them. I want them to be very good citizens of the U.S.”

Sediqa is studying English and hopes to become licensed to practice midwifery in New Mexico. Said now serves as a Case Manager at Lutheran Family Services, welcoming other refugees. “When I meet them at the airport, I’m so happy,” he says. “Because I came as a refugee, I can understand them and can tell them, ‘You are not alone — I am with you.’”

Holistic Support for Survivors

Pathways Navigators at NMILC provide comprehensive support for victims of crime, human trafficking, and domestic violence through a holistic approach to client care. Our team establishes effective routes of assistance by addressing clients’ unique situations through strategic interventions including:

• Safety planning

• Emergency resource information

• Pro se legal assistance

• Legal service referrals

• Public benefits application

• Healthcare navigation

• Behavioral health support

• Educational opportunities

By helping clients address their most basic needs, they can move beyond trauma to focus on rebuilding their lives and finding stability. NMILC’s community of supporters makes lasting holistic healing possible.

DETENTION

Renewed Strength at the Border

As the need for immigration legal services continues to grow in southern New Mexico, NMILC has expanded to support families impacted by border policies. In recent years, we’ve hosted pop-up clinics for asylum seekers and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients in the southern part of the state. This year, thanks to your support, we’ve opened a full-time office in Las Cruces to ensure consistent, high-quality legal services for those in need. We continue to partner with local organizations, including Catholic Charities of Southern New Mexico and La Casa, Inc., in Las Cruces; Healing House in Deming; and Phoenix House in Hobbs. With a Department of Justice-Accredited Representative in Las Cruces and an attorney in El Paso, we’re able to provide comprehensive legal support to survivors of crime, including domestic violence and sexual assault, and help stabilize families across rural New Mexico and the border region.

What’s at Stake for Detained Asylum Seekers

**Torrance Country Detention Center in Estancia, New Mexico**

NMILC is the only organization that provides legal services to asylum seekers detained in New Mexico’s immigration facilities. Thanks to your support, we visited the Cibola and Torrance County detention centers every week in 2024, delivering legal information to 3,760 detainees.

But the challenges ahead are immense. With mass deportations and expanded detention centers occurring under the current presidential administration, the need for NMILC’s services is greater than ever.

Our legal team works directly with detainees, helping them apply for asylum, gather evidence, and seek release on bond or parole. We’ve also filed civil rights complaints to address violations like medical neglect, lack of language access, and due process failures — actions that have led to investigations and even reforms.

As part of the Dignity Not Detention (DND) coalition, we’re fighting to draw attention to human rights abuses and end civil immigration detention in New Mexico. In the 2024 Legislative Session, the coalition came close to passing a bill to ban the use of state facilities for detention for civil immigration violations.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. With federal plans to expand detention facilities across the country, we must act now. Together, we can protect detained immigrants in New Mexico and build a system that treats everyone with dignity and respect.

With your support in 2024

130

client survivors of abuse and persecution were connected to public benefits access, emergency rental assistance, emergency financial assistance, driver’s license services, continuing education, eye care, and dental services.

750

non-detained asylum seekers were provided legal assistance.

3,760

detained immigrants received legal information from NMILC.

867

survivors of crime were served by NMILC in pursuing lawful status through U visas, T visas, and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

NMILC PROTECTS EVERY CHILD

Opening Doors for New Mexico’s Immigrant Youth

**Carlos G. is a senior in high school who received Special Immigrant Juvenile Status thanks to NMILC’s work.**

In 2023, New Mexico set a national example for supporting immigrant youth with the passage of the Special Immigrant Juvenile Classification Act (SIJCA). After years of legal research by NMILC and advocacy informed by community listening sessions, this historic law aligns New Mexico’s family court jurisdiction with federal law and expands protections to youth ages 18 to 21 — a change that extends vital protections to an estimated 4,000 young adults in New Mexico. The law also broadens the definition of abandonment to include a parent who has been deported or is incarcerated, setting a precedent for immigrant youth protection that advocates in other states have sought to replicate.

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) offers a pathway to lawful permanent residency for young people who cannot reunite with a parent due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. But passing the law was only the beginning. For SIJS to create meaningful change, young people must know their rights and have the resources to navigate the legal process. NMILC has worked tirelessly in 2024 to ensure this new law translates into real opportunities.

“Having SIJS means so much to me because I don’t have to worry about not being legally in line in this county. It gives me a baseline to progress. Business has always been my passion, and I’m excited to pursue it after high school. There’s no limit to what I can achieve.”

— Carlos G., SIJS Client

Seeing firsthand that fees in family courts were a barrier to entry, NMILC successfully advocated to have all SIJS court fees automatically waived. Now no eligible young person is excluded due to financial constraints. We also addressed gaps in understanding of the new law among judges and family court professionals, providing education and technical support to ensure fair access.

The expanded eligibility brought new challenges, requiring more attorneys with specialized expertise in family law to handle the growing number of cases. In 2024, Baker McKenzie, one of the world’s largest law firms, chose to partner with NMILC because of New Mexico’s track record for innovation with the SIJCA. This was the first time an international firm committed to New Mexico in this way, despite not having a physical office in the state. They provide direct representation for immigrant youth at risk of aging out of eligibility, inspiring 50 attorneys from their network to take on SIJS state court cases.

SIJS has become even more vital at a time when protections like DACA are under threat, and there is much more work ahead. With your support, NMILC is preparing to meet new challenges, adapt to evolving needs, and ensure that every young person has the chance to build a worthwhile future in New Mexico. Together, we are proving that inclusion, advocacy, and innovation really work — and that New Mexico can serve as a model for protecting immigrant youth across the country.

NMILC Supporters Are a Lifeline to Unaccompanied Children

We are the only legal service provider who represents unaccompanied children under a contract from the Acacia Center for Justice for all counties in New Mexico. These young people are especially vulnerable, often navigating the complex immigration system without a lawyer and with limited understanding of their rights.

NMILC ensures that these children receive the comprehensive legal services they need to protect their rights. But the federal funding for the services we provide is at risk. Without continued support, these children could lose access to critical legal representation, leaving them to face the immigration system alone.

We need your help to ensure that every unaccompanied child in New Mexico can continue to receive the legal representation they deserve.

Additionally, while the passage of the Special Immigrant Juvenile Classification Act opens doors for immigrant youth ages 18 to 21, it will take even more funding to extend support to this age group. Your donation can bridge the gap, giving roughly 4,000 young adults the tools they need to work toward a brighter future in our community.

“The services of NMILC allowed me to pursue a promising life in a country I call my own, opening doors I did not know were closed for me.”

— Oscar C., SIJS client and U.S. resident

Attorneys Heather Kryzak, left, and Jessica Tolle discuss a case during a pro bono clinic held at Modrall Sperling Roehl Harris & Sisk PA law firm to help immigrant youth with their state court cases for SIJS.

Local Law Firm Deepens Commitment

Modrall Sperling Roehl Harris & Sisk PA, a New Mexico-based law firm, has deepened their pro bono partnership with NMILC that began in 2020. This year, attorneys Liliana Benitez De Luna and Abigail Bannon-Schneebeck spearheaded three SIJS clinics at their office. These sessions connected pro bono attorneys with clients for the initial state court step in SIJS cases.

Everyone at the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center is deeply grateful to our local pro bono partners, as our work with immigrant youth would not be possible without them!

With your support in 2024

819

immigrant youth under the age 21 received legal assistance from NMILC.

56

received a lawful status in the U.S.

116

received a Social Security Number and work permit, making them eligible to legally work in the U.S.

53

became eligible for health benefits.

With the growth of NMILC and our increased involvement in legislative advocacy and consensus-building, your support allowed us to create our first-ever Director of Policy and Coalition Building position. We are thrilled to welcome Attorney Jessica Martinez, who stepped into this important new role in April 2024.

STAFF PROFILE

Jessica Martinez

DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND COALITION BUILDING

“It feels like coming full circle for me to work as an immigration attorney because I am a proud daughter of a Mexican immigrant. My mother came to this country undocumented from Michoacan, Mexico, and overcame many adversities. She inspired me to get involved in community organizing at an early age, which led me to become an immigration attorney.

I love building movements with the community, educating the public on an array of issues, and working toward common goals. It is beautiful to be able to speak and hear Spanish almost daily in my work, and I feel a sense of pride that we are all collaborating to use our skills to create positive change.”

— Jessica Martinez

Several NMILC staff members have become U.S. citizens in the past few years. We celebrate this milestone with them!

“The day of my oath ceremony, I carried many in my heart who don’t have the pathway to obtain a permanent status. I’m hopeful of a future where laws include people like me — people with dreams and aspirations for the bettering of this country.”

—BRENDA MORALES VALDEZ, Intake Manager

“To be a U.S. citizen is having the privilege to never have to think about becoming a citizen, to never have to feel othered again. To be a citizen is to be able visit family in Mexico and the U.S. and have certainty that our hugs shift from ‘Until we see each other’ to ‘See you in a bit.’”

—ANA “YAYO” APARICIO CALDERON, Program Operations Manager

Why you give

We know there are countless reasons why you chose to engage with NMILC in the ways you do. You, as part of an impassioned community of donors, come from all walks of life and contribute at every level — from small, one-time gifts, to recurring monthly donations, to large, multi-year bequests and pledges.

Thank you for being a champion of NMILC’s work and mission in your personal and professional networks. We cannot overstate the impact of your allyship — as you fundraise on our behalf, petition for corporate gifts at your workplace, solicit birthday pledges via social media, and make introductions to your friends and family.

At this historic moment, we invite you to deepen your commitment to immigrant rights and protections by giving to NMILC at the level that is meaningful to you. Your contributions create a ripple of positive impact in the lives of our clients, strengthening the resilience and prosperity of New Mexico for generations to come.

HELP SUPPORT OUR RAPID RESPONSE FUND

NMILC’s Rapid Response Fund aims to raise $1,500,000 to replace the recent loss of federal funding. This campaign will help fund legal services for the approximately 300 unaccompanied children across our state. Without continued support, these children could lose access to critical legal representation, leaving them to face the immigration system alone. Additionally, the funding will help NMILC increase our capacity to provide emergency legal services in response to immigrant raids, and develop litigation strategies to ensure the rights of people in detention.
