In California's immigration court, many immigrants appear without legal representation, increasing their risk of deportation. Lawyer Kamalpreet Chohan coordinates a program that provides volunteer lawyers to assist those navigating the complex legal system.
Data from the Vera Institute of Justice indicates that over half of the 3.2 million pending deportation cases in U.S. immigration courts lack legal representation. A study found that individuals without lawyers have a significantly lower success rate in obtaining asylum compared to those who are represented.

许多移民在法庭上没有律师陪伴面临驱逐，这个项目试图提供帮助
在加利福尼亚州的移民法庭，许多移民在没有法律代表的情况下出庭，这增加了他们被驱逐的风险。律师卡马尔普里特·乔汉协调一个项目，提供志愿律师，协助那些在复杂法律系统中导航的移民。
维拉正义研究所的数据表明，美国移民法庭中320万待处理的驱逐案件中有超过一半缺乏法律代表。一项研究发现，没有律师的个体获得庇护的成功率显著低于有律师的个体。
