Mission
"The Immigration Services Bureau (ISB) provides immigrant Californians with high-quality immigration legal services and other supportive services to facilitate their integration into their community."
About
The ISB develops, implements, and administers comprehensive programs that fund nonprofits across the State to provide pro bono immigration legal services, education and community outreach, critical assistance in emergent situations, and other essential immigrant inclusion and integration efforts.
Legal support for the most underserved immigrant populations and regions can be found through nonprofit organizations throughout the State, at California State Universities, and at California Community Colleges.
The ISB is split into two sections consisting of six different units that specialize in special programming meeting the needs of communities in California. The Operations and Emergent Response Section focuses on internal operations, as well as, responding to urgent immigration needs, including but not limited to, individuals affected by local natural disasters. The Community Partnership Section focuses on ongoing programming such as Immigration Services Funding (ISF) and Removal Defense, but also, engaging existing and new partners, and specialized programming.
