Founded in 1987,the ACLU immigrant’s rights project is dedicated to expanding and enforcing the civil liberties and civil rights of non citizens and to combating public and private discrimination against immigrants.for more than twenty years,the IRP has been at the forefront of almost every major legal struggle on behalf of immigrants ‘right trough class action lawsuits,law reform litigation,judicial rulings and legal advocacy.
