There had been a fire drill. People in suits were sparsely interspersed among dozens of young Black men in street clothes and Latino families trying to pacify young children.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we all waited in line, 9 a.m., the time for many people\u2019s appointments to go before an immigration judge, came and went. Melanie Zamenhof, a senior attorney at Neighbors Link community law practice, estimated that a third of the people in line risked having a judge call their case while they were still outside. \u201cHow many people are going to get ordered removed because they\u2019re sitting in this line?\u201d she wondered aloud. If that were to happen, they could file a motion to reopen their cases by providing affidavits and proof that they had arrived at the right time but hadn\u2019t been allowed in. But doing so costs $550, and virtually no one going through the process without a lawyer would have any idea that it\u2019s an option.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s common in immigration courtrooms across the country. Despite the enormously high stakes and labyrinthine legal landscape in immigration proceedings, there is no right to have a lawyer at one\u2019s side. In the 3.5 million removal proceedings pending in immigration courts as of June 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/vera-institute.files.svdcdn.com\/production\/downloads\/publications\/The-Impact-of-Legal-Representation-on-Detained-Immigrants-Facing-Deportation-Report.pdf?dm=1776456613\" target=\"_blank\">2.1 million<\/a> people had no legal representation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It\u2019s a problem that may be slowly changing during the second Trump administration. In their recent legislative sessions, <a href=\"https:\/\/civilrighttocounsel.org\/map\/\" target=\"_blank\">six states<\/a> \u2014 California, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, and Vermont \u2014 considered legislation that would enshrine a right to a lawyer in immigration court. California became the first state to actually pass legislation with a bill guaranteeing representation for children. \u201cIt\u2019s getting a lot more serious discussion and attention than ever happened before,\u201d said John Pollock, coordinator at the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u201cThis administration has vastly expanded who is being targeted for deportation and detention and is arbitrarily and indiscriminately arresting people regardless of how long they\u2019ve been here,\u201d added Elizabeth Kenney, associate director of the Advancing Universal Representation Initiative at the Vera Institute of Justice. \u201cThis has really brought awareness to the fact that in our system, immigrants are left to fight their cases alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It was 9:45 by the time I reached the waiting room outside Immigration Judge Diane Dodd\u2019s courtroom on the 13th floor, where 139 people were on the judge\u2019s mega master docket \u2014 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2026\/05\/26\/nx-s1-5830474\/trump-immigration-courts-mega-masters\" target=\"_blank\">new tactic<\/a> in which the Justice Department is bunching scores of cases together with the goal of speeding along deportations. All of the blue plastic bucket seats were occupied; people lined up along the walls. Only lawyers were allowed into the small, low-ceilinged courtroom lit with neon lights and carpeted in blue. Dodd briefly walked into the room, a short woman with long grey hair, apologized and promptly exited. Instead, a stressed clerk presided. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s chaos,\u201d she told the room. One by one, she spoke to the lawyers to find out their case numbers and what paperwork they had filed. If she was satisfied, she told them they and their clients could leave. Those without lawyers didn\u2019t get off so easily: They would have to wait an indeterminate amount of time to see Dodd.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A Latina woman clutching a folder full of papers who had somehow ended up in the courtroom desperately tried to show the clerk her ID and case information on her phone; the clerk waved her away, refusing to talk to her. She sat, mute, seemingly unsure what to do. When the clerk reached another couple without a lawyer and asked if they had an attorney, they gestured at paperwork while speaking Russian. A lawyer sitting next to them, not theirs, who happened to speak Russian conferred with them; he reported that they filed a motion to change the venue because their lawyer is in Chicago. Only after that did the clerk tell them they could leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u201cWhat a fucking shitshow,\u201d a different lawyer exclaimed aloud.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:pullquote -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIn our system, immigrants are left to fight their cases alone.\u201d <\/p><cite>Elizabeth Kenney, associate director of the Advancing Universal Representation Initiative at the Vera Institute of Justice<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:pullquote -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Those waiting outside Tanawa Lebreton\u2019s courtroom on the 15th floor fared even worse. Her docket, printed out on bright orange pages taped together, stretched to the floor and showed that of over 100 cases, just 32 had lawyers near their names. Over 50 people were still waiting by 11 a.m. without having seen a judge or even talking to a clerk. An elderly, white haired woman hunched down in her wheelchair; two mothers of toddlers, just barely walking, chased them around the room. As a volunteer with an organization that connects people to legal clinics moved through the crowd, asking in Spanish if they had lawyers, everyone shook their heads no. Plastic buckets attached to the wall under an \u201cINFORMACION\u201d banner offered pamphlets to answer various questions: \u201cHow to apply for asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the convention against torture,\u201d \u201cWhat if you disagree with a judge\u2019s decision?,\u201d \u201cHow to win your case for lawful permanent resident (LPR) cancellation of removal.\u201d A disclaimer above the bins warned that it was not intended as legal advice. Next to those, fliers posted to the wall in multiple languages blared the dangers of skirting legal requirements. \u201cWarning!\u201d declared one. \u201cAsylum fraud is against the law.\u201d Another had a \u201cmessage to illegal aliens\u201d that listed the benefits of self-deportation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>One of the few people who made it before Lebreton before she took a break for lunch was a man from Senegal who was facing removal proceedings. Through a Wolof interpreter, Lebreton inquired as to whether he had tried to get an attorney after his last hearing. He had promised to try to find one, he said, but he had lost his job and couldn\u2019t. Someone he had found just before his previous appointment turned out not to be a lawyer. \u201cHe scammed me and took my money,\u201d he told her. Lebreton encouraged him to reach out to legal aid groups and other lawyers on a list he had been given. \u201cImmigration law is very complicated,\u201d Lebreton warned him. \u201cAnything submitted on your behalf, you are responsible for.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Then she read out the allegations lodged against him by the federal government, asking him to admit or deny each. Is it true he\u2019s not a citizen? Yes, he replied. Is it true he\u2019s a native of Senegal? Yes. Is it true that he arrived to the U.S. in Arizona? Yes. The judge stated the final allegation in legalese and then translated to lay terms: Is it true that he didn\u2019t have legal permission to enter the country? Yes, he answered. Lebreton reiterated the question, double checking that was really how he wanted to answer. Yes, he said; he didn\u2019t have the right paperwork when he entered the country. The judge designated Senegal as the country he would be deported to should it come to that. His next step would be a final hearing late next year. \u201cIt\u2019s your responsibility to prove your case,\u201d she told him before informing him he could leave.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It\u2019s a line most people could recite from \u201cLaw &amp; Order\u201d: in criminal proceedings, Americans have the right to an attorney, and if they can\u2019t afford an attorney, one will be provided for them. That\u2019s been the law of the land since a 1963 Supreme Court decision. But immigration proceedings, despite their high stakes and the real possibility that they will result in detention, are civil. That means that no immigrant who goes through the system is guaranteed a lawyer.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>And yet the impact immigration lawyers make on cases is clear. In Illinois, having a lawyer increased the likelihood of being granted full protection from removal by <a href=\"https:\/\/vera-institute.files.svdcdn.com\/production\/downloads\/publications\/The-Impact-of-Legal-Representation-on-Detained-Immigrants-Facing-Deportation-Report.pdf?dm=1776456613\" target=\"_blank\">366% <\/a>\u00a0and of being released from detention on bond by 46%, according to data from the Vera Institute of Justice.

Add language barriers to the mix, and then consider that there are children who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbur.org\/news\/2026\/03\/12\/massachusetts-children-immigration-court-deportation\" target=\"_blank\">go in front<\/a> of immigration judges alone. Those in detention have even less access to legal defense. The barriers have only increased as the Trump administration makes changes to the process and erects more barriers to staying in the U.S. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to navigate even with the most intelligent, skilled legal team,\u201d Zamenhof said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>On the other side of the case is a government prosecutor. \u201cPeople are expected to face a trained government attorney without anyone to defend them, help them understand their rights and options and help them navigate their case, unless they\u2019re able to afford a private attorney,\u201d Kenney said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The stakes are incredibly high. \u201cImmigration proceedings are literally life and death in certain cases,\u201d Pollock said.

It didn\u2019t pass, but it made it through two committees \u2014 more progress than such legislation has made in prior years. A new governor next year could also change the political calculus.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>But even if California were able to pass a right-to-counsel bill for every immigrant, it would be nearly impossible to put into action right away. There just aren\u2019t enough immigration lawyers. \u201cExisting immigration attorneys are frankly overwhelmed,\u201d said Hamid Yazdan Panah, advocacy director at Immigrant Defense Advocates. The state legislature has funded two programs that are chipping away at the problem: one <a href=\"https:\/\/imadvocates.org\/portfolio-item\/immigrant-justice-fellowship\/\" target=\"_blank\">sends legal fellows<\/a> into underserved regions who then partner with larger, established organizations, and another staffs an attorney to consult with everyone at particular master hearings, or the initial hearings immigrants must attend. \u201cTo reach this aspirational universal representation model, you need to have a scalable approach,\u201d Panah said.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>New York has been working on these issues for years. The New York Immigration Family Unity Project pilot program was launched in 2013 in an effort to create a public defender system for detained immigrants. The state has yet to pass a guarantee, but it has invested heavily in it the past few years: Its <a href=\"https:\/\/legislation.nysenate.gov\/pdf\/bills\/2025\/s9003d\" target=\"_blank\">most recent budget<\/a> devoted $74.2 million for services that include legal representation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Then in 2020, at the end of the first Trump administration, New York lawmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nysenate.gov\/legislation\/bills\/2019\/S7261\" target=\"_blank\">introduced<\/a> a bill to guarantee legal representation in immigration proceedings, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyic.org\/2020\/01\/access-to-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\">first<\/a> such legislation in the country. It\u2019s been reintroduced every session since. More recently, lawmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nysenate.gov\/legislation\/bills\/2025\/S4538\" target=\"_blank\">introduced<\/a> accompanying legislation that would help build a pipeline of attorneys to take on immigration cases so that there are enough to represent everyone should the right to counsel actually pass.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Despite all of the state activity, however, not much has changed for immigrants moving through the system across the country. \u201cThere are not currently any states that have a right to counsel and have sufficient funding to ensure that that right is available for everyone,\u201d Kenney noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>And even if some states do pass and fund such a right, \u201cWe know that\u2019s not going to be possible in every state,\u201d Kenney noted. \u201cIn order to ensure that people have access to high-quality counsel regardless of where they\u2019re from or where they\u2019re detained, we need to make sure that right applies throughout the country.\u201d But Congress hasn\u2019t acted. While bills have been regularly introduced for years to create a federal right to counsel in immigration court, they typically don\u2019t even get hearings, let alone votes. The version <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/senate-bill\/1187\/all-actions\" target=\"_blank\">introduced<\/a> in 2023 by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Rep.
