With the end of the year approaching TRII is very excited to share some news for the coming year.
Starting in January of 2021, TRII will continue to provide legal services at our NEW OFFICE: 14b Felton Street right in the heart of Waltham.
Please consider supporting TRII this Giving Tuesday!
This year has posed immense challenges for asylum seekers, and TRII has been tirelessly working around the clock to provide crucial legal and social services.

The current immigration court backlog of over two million cases strains individuals, municipalities, and communities. TRII fills this service gap by offering free assistance to help asylum seekers navigate this multi-year process.
As a fully volunteer-staffed asylum clinic, every cent funds direct legal representation and TRII’s unique program training the next generation of accredited immigration representatives.

We are so proud to announce that @TRIIUSA was honored by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services for “Distinguished Service in Providing Volunteer Legal Services”!
TRII is honored to be the only nonprofit legal clinic recognized and shares this distinction with esteemed firms like @bdlawfirm, @BrownRudnickLLP, @dechertllp, @FoleyHoag, and @WilmerHale.
He added that TRII’s program provides a 'new platform' for immigrants in Massachusetts — and a model which can be replicated beyond the state’s borders — by increasing the ability to effectively advocate for immigrants facing issues like detention."

"Bracamontes Norzagaray and those at TRII provide free representation in immigration proceedings, trials and appeals by becoming, and training members of immigrant and refugee communities to become, fully accredited Department of Justice representatives."
We at TRII are sending our love to all those at @BrandeisU following last night’s tragic accident. We want to thank the community for the swift response and outpouring of support received so far.
Individually, our voices may not be recognized, but by advocating together we will ensure a better tomorrow for all people, regardless of their immigration status.
TRII is proud to stand with @NIPNLG, @nyulaw Immigrant Rights Clinic, and organizations across the country in fighting back against TX’s meritless appeal to the Supreme Court.
ICYMI: Earlier this month, @NIPNLG & @nyulaw Immigrant Rights Clinic filed an amicus brief in United States v. Texas. The brief highlights the unlawful, racist arguments behind Texas and Louisiana’s lawsuit against the Biden admin’s immigration enforcement priorities. 🧵⬇️

29 years ago, Luma Mufleh came to the US as a refugee & has since found herself on an unexpected path. After hearing her TED Talk, “Don’t Feel Sorry For Refugees, Believe In Them,” I couldn’t wait to get her perspective on how to build a caring community. https://t.co/JHvtWOxmnF
