Our Mission: Four Years of Walking With Migrants

For four years, the JRS/USA Migrant Accompaniment Network has walked alongside newly arrived asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants as they build new lives in the U.S. Now, we’re expanding our mission to include courtroom accompaniment and ICE check-in support—critical moments when migrants face risks of detention or deportation.
