Making it easy to get answers to your immigration status questions.
The Immigration Rights Hub is a free, comprehensive guide to laws that uniquely affect immigrants. These laws are often hard to find and more difficult to understand, and the Immigration Rights Hubs is designed to help immigrants and advocates easily access information about immigrant rights. Written in plain language for all users to understand, the Immigration Rights Hub provides information in both English and Spanish, and support for additional languages will be added in the future. Each piece of information in the Immigration Rights Hub is sourced and dated, allowing users to know when the information was last updated and to access the source itself.
The Immigration Rights Hub is a project of the Hack The Ban DC team "Knowledge is Power."
