Description

The Organization: The Florence Project was founded in 1989 to respond to a representation crisis for indigent non-citizens detained at the rural Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention Center in Florence, Arizona. Through our programs today, we provide services to thousands of adults, youth, and children detained in Eloy, Florence, Phoenix, and Tucson, Arizona on any given day. In 2001, the Florence Project implemented our Integrated Social Services Program, one of the first of its kind in this field. The Florence Project provides high quality legal and social services and supports initiatives for national changes in immigration law and policy. Primary Purpose of the Job: The Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project’s Border Action Team Staff Attorney position intends to enhance the provision of legal services to asylum seekers encountered at the U.S. southern border. The Staff Attorney will be under the direction of the Border Action Team’s Managing Attorney. This position is intended to be adaptive, based on the constantly evolving landscape of U.S. border policy – including, but not limited to, policies like metering, expulsions without due process, removal proceedings at the border, and various forms of expedited removal – as well as the impact those policies have on the use of detention.  The Staff Attorney will provide legal orientation, consultation, and some direct representation to asylum seekers at the Arizona/Sonora border and/or in the credible fear process at the border or in ICE detention. The Staff Attorney will also provide Know Your Rights presentations and pro se assistance, as well as direct representation to other individuals in detention, as needed. The distribution of tasks is highly dependent upon program priorities at the time, based upon current border and immigration policies. The Staff Attorney will also collaborate on advocacy efforts to protect and improve due process. The Staff Attorney will be an employee of FIRRP but, like all members on the Border Action Team, will work closely with the Kino Border Initiative staff and other NGO community partners as well. This position is based out of FIRRP’s Tucson office but requires frequent travel to Sonora, Mexico. Some travel to the detention facilities and Immigration Courts in Eloy and Florence, Arizona, may also be required.
