About the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota

The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota (ILCM) is a nonprofit organization that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in Minnesota and North Dakota. ILCM also advocates for public policies which respect the universal human rights of immigrants. As part of Minnesota’s legal-aid ecosystem, the ILCM is experiencing a historic demand for services as a result of Operation Metro Surge, taking on cases that will demand months, and even years, of legal advocacy to resolve.
