Arrested by federal immigration authorities, these children, who range in age from two to seventeen years of age, are detained in restrictive settings where they face removal proceedings. The proceedings are administrative and adversarial, pitting children with limited English language skills against trained trial attorneys. All of them are entitled to important legal protections and deserve counsel. Some are eligible for asylum and protection under the UN Convention against Torture or Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS).

that provides free legal services to detained unaccompanied children in San Diego County. Beginning in 2009, and officially as of January 1, 2010, Casa Cornelia expanded the program to include children not currently in detention. Specifically, Casa Cornelia provides needed immigration legal services to children that were detained elsewhere in the U.S., released in San Diego and are still in removal proceedings. In addition to these newly-released children, Casa Cornelia represents those children who are not in deportation proceedings but are eligible for immigration relief. Without this program, many children would not have access to relief or to the protection afforded them by law.

As a result, and after review, the White House declared the increase in arrivals to be a humanitarian crisis on June 2, 2014. Yet Casa Cornelia bore witness to the growing numbers of children as early as 2011.

In its inception year, the Children’s Program provided legal services to 120 children and until 2010 (nine years later), the number remained relatively unchanged rising to 180 children served that year. But in 2011, the program served 232 children, a marked increase from the previous year. The numbers have continued to trend higher and higher, forcing the organizations and government agencies charged with providing the care, housing, and legal services to find creative solutions to serve this vulnerable population. Casa Cornelia is among the organizations experiencing the impact of the alarming increase in child arrivals.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="no" hundred_percent_height="no" hundred_percent_height_scroll="no" hundred_percent_height_center_content="yes" equal_height_columns="no" menu_anchor="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" status="published" publish_date="" class="orange-circles" id="" background_color="#dfe0e0" background_image="http://casacornelia.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/logo-bg.png" background_position="center center" background_repeat="no-repeat" fade="no" background_parallax="none" enable_mobile="no" parallax_speed="0.3" video_mp4="" video_webm="" video_ogv="" video_url="" video_aspect_ratio="16:9" video_loop="yes" video_mute="yes" video_preview_image="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" margin_top="32px" margin_bottom="" padding_top="62px" padding_right="" padding_bottom="62px" padding_left=""][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" layout="1_1" spacing="" center_content="no" link="" target="_self" min_height="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" background_image_id="" background_color="" background_image="" background_position="left top" undefined="" background_repeat="no-repeat" hover_type="none" border_size="0" border_color="" border_style="solid" border_position="all" border_radius_top_left="" border_radius_top_right="" border_radius_bottom_left="" border_radius_bottom_right="" box_shadow="no" box_shadow_vertical="" box_shadow_horizontal="" box_shadow_blur="0" box_shadow_spread="0" box_shadow_color="" box_shadow_style="" padding_top="" padding_right="" padding_bottom="" padding_left="" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" animation_type="fade" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.8" animation_offset="top-mid-of-view" last="no"][fusion_text columns="" column_min_width="" column_spacing="" rule_style="default" rule_size="" rule_color="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id=""]
