Freedom for Immigrants
Organization Description
Freedom for Immigrants (FFI) is the only nonprofit in the country monitoring the human rights abuses faced by immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through a national hotline and network of volunteer detention visitors, while also modeling a community-based alternative to detention that welcomes immigrants into the social fabric of the United States. Through these windows into the system, we gather data and stories to combat injustice at the individual level and push systemic change.
