• RURAL IMMIGRATION PROJECT: THIS PROJECT PROVIDES LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND EDUCATION TO IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVING IN GREATER MINNESOTA. THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON PROVIDING SERVICES IN THE AREAS OF MINNESOTA WHERE THE HIGHEST IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE POPULATIONS RESIDE AND IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES ARE LEAST AVAILABLE. SERVICES ARE BASED OUT OF SATELLITE OFFICES IN AUSTIN, MOORHEAD, AND WORTHINGTON. 18% OF ILCM'S 2024 CASES - 492 - WERE IN GREATER MINNESOTA.

  Expenses $467,156 · Grants $59,114

• NEW BEGINNINGS PROJECT: THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS IMMIGRANT SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR OTHER SERIOUS CRIMES AND UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED, ABANDONED, OR NEGLECTED TO OBTAIN LAWFUL STATUS, THEREBY GAINING THE PERSONAL AND ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY NEEDED TO ESCAPE THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE. THE PROJECT WORKS CLOSELY WITH SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT TO THESE CLIENTS.

  Expenses $446,204 · Grants $3,599

• NEW AMERICANS IMMIGRATION HUB PROJECT: NEW IN 2024, THIS PROJECT IS A COLLABORATION OF EFFORTS, TIME, SKILLS, EXPERTISE, AND RESOURCES BY SIMILAR IMMIGRATION-LEGAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. THE HUB MAKES IT EASIER FOR NEW MINNESOTANS TO ACCESS LEGAL SERVICES BY CREATING COORDINATED INTAKE SYSTEMS, NEW CLINIC LOCATIONS, SPECIALIZED EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, COLLABORATIVE OUTREACH EFFORTS, AND A MORE THOUGHTFUL REFERRAL NETWORK. IN 2024, ILCM HANDLED 46 CASES THROUGH THE HUB PROJECT.

  Expenses $434,010 · Grants $358,754

• TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS PROJECT: THIS PROJECT PROVIDES REPRESENTATION FOR INDIVIDUALS FROM COUNTRIES GRANTED TPS FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS). TPS IS A TEMPORARY IMMIGRATION STATUS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNABLE TO RETURN HOME SAFELY DUE TO CIVIL WAR, NATURAL DISASTER, OR OTHER CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES PREVENTING THEIR RETURN TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY. DURING THE DESIGNATED TPS PERIOD, TPS HOLDERS CANNOT BE DEPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES AND CANNOT BE DETAINED BY DHS ON THE BASIS OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. TPS HOLDERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AN EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION DOCUMENT (EAD) AND FOR TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION.

• COMMUNITY DEFENSE PROJECT: THIS PROJECT RESPONDS TO THE EVOLVING NEED FOR DEPORTATION DEFENSE TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER. THE PROJECT PROVIDES ADVICE AND BRIEF SERVICE TO DETAINEES IN CUSTODY, REPRESENTS DETAINED AND NON-DETAINED CLIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR ASYLUM OR OTHER PROTECTIONS AGAINST DEPORTATION, AND PRESENTS APPEALS TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED FUNDAMENTAL LIBERTIES OF IMMIGRANTS. THE PROJECT ALSO SUPPORTS IMPACT LITIGATION THAT PROTECTS AND ADVANCES THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANTS THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, NONPROFITS, AND PRIVATE LAW FIRMS.

  Expenses $356,430 · Grants $46,754

• PRO BONO PROJECT:THIS PROJECT INCREASES ILCM'S CAPACITY TO SERVE IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITIES BY RECRUITING, TRAINING, AND SUPERVISING PRIVATE ATTORNEYS, PARALEGALS, AND LEGAL ASSISTANTS TO ASSIST CLIENTS IN BECOMING NATURALIZED U.S. CITIZENS, HELP UKRAINIANS RENEW PAROLE OR APPLY FOR TPS, ASSIST CRIME VICTIMS APPLY FOR A U VISA, AND RENEW DACA STATUS. PRO BONO ATTORNEYS HAVE ALSO ASSISTED IN FAMILY REUNIFICATION CASES, DEPORTATION DEFENSE, IMPACT LITIGATION AND APPEALS, AND COMMENTING ON PROPOSED REGULATIONS. IN 2024, 194 PRO BONO ATTORNEYS REPORTED A TOTAL OF 3,426 HOURS OF LEGAL SERVICES TO ILCM CLIENTS.

  Expenses $172,018

• REFUGEE SERVICES PROJECT: THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS REFUGEES, ASYLEES, UKRAINIAN PAROLEES, AND AFGHAN PAROLEES AND SPECIAL IMMIGRANT VISA HOLDERS IN APPLYING FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION, LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS AND REPLACEMENT OF GREEN CARDS, AND CITIZENSHIP. IN PROVIDING THESE SERVICES, THE PROJECT COLLABORATES WITH REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS MINNESOTA.

  Expenses $145,953

• DREAMERS PROJECT: THIS PROJECT PROVIDES LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND OUTREACH FOR CURRENT RECIPIENTS OF THE DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS (DACA) PROGRAM WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO RENEW THEIR DACA STATUS. DACA WAS ESTABLISHED IN AUGUST 2012, AND THERE HAVE BEEN EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE THE PROGRAM SINCE 2017. CURRENTLY, INITIAL APPLICATIONS CANNOT BE FILED. THE PROJECT SUPPORTS DACA HOLDERS WITH RENEWING THEIR STATUS, WHICH CONFERS EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND PROTECTION FROM DEPORTATION.

  Expenses $70,625

• ADVOCACY PROJECT: ILCM WORKS AT A SYSTEMS-LEVEL TO PROMOTE FAIR AND JUST PUBLIC POLICIES THAT SUPPORT IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITIES. ILCM WORKS DIRECTLY WITH THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, IMMIGRANT ADVOCATES, NONPROFITS, BUSINESS AND CIVIC LEADERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND POLICYMAKERS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND NEEDS OF IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES AND TO ADVOCATE FOR WELCOMING POLICIES AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS. THIS PAST YEAR, AFTER THE PASSAGE OF "DRIVER'S LICENSES FOR ALL" (2023), WE SERVED AS A CRUCIAL LIAISON BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF VEHICLE SERVICES (DVS), ENSURING THAT COMMUNITY NEEDS WERE EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATED TO DVS WHILE ALSO RELAYING DVS' QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. ILCM ALSO ADVOCATED HEAVILY FOR ALL MINNESOTANS, REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS, TO ACCESS MINNESOTACARE, HEALTH INSURANCE OFFERED BY THE MN DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES. IN NOVEMBER, IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT MINNESOTACARE EXPANDED ITS COVERAGE TO ALLOW UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE TO APPLY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. HISTORICALLY, LACK OF INSURANCE FOR UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO DISPARITIES IN HEALTH CARE ACCESS, HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND QUALITY OF LIFE. EXPANDED ELIGIBILITY WILL HELP DECREASE STRESS ON EMERGENCY ROOMS BY ENCOURAGING PREVENTATIVE CARE, LOWER COSTS, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF ALL MINNESOTANS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The first 10 program lines listed; the rest are in the source return and the API. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
