Our firm advocates on behalf of detained immigrants through the pro bono work of our attorneys and our commitment to the Detainee Bond Project, which we co-sponsor with the Binger Center for New Americans and Advocates for Human Rights. For this event, Minnesota Freedom Fund has set a goal of raising the statutory minimum amount for an immigration bond for one detainee, a total of $1,500. While donations are not expected, attendees may contribute in person or online.
