Update as of June 1, 2026: Stay informed on the latest status of DACA. We continue to wait for Judge Hanen’s decision in the Fifth Circuit (Texas). First-time or initial renewals have not re-started. DACA renewals remain open. Apply six (6) to nine (9) months before the expiration date on your current work permit. DACA renewals may take longer than the four-month (120 days) estimated processing time posted on the USCIS website. If your case has been pending for more than 120 days from the receipt notice date, you can submit an inquiry at myUSCIS online or 1-800-375-5283.

⚠️ ALERTA DE FRAUDE ⚠️

El robo de identidad profesional es cada vez más común, especialmente en las comunidades de inmigrantes. Los estafadores a menudo roban los nombres de abogados reales, números de barras y perfiles profesionales para parecer legítimos y ganar confianza.

Alguien se está haciendo pasar por un miembro de nuestro equipo y afirmando falsamente su afiliación con organizaciones de confianza para defraudar a los miembros de la comunidad.

Esta persona NO está conectada a nuestra oficina o institución.

🚩 Banderas rojas a tener en cuenta:

• Solo se comunica a través de WhatsApp/redes sociales

• Solicita el pago a través de Zelle, CashApp o transferencia bancaria a cuentas privadas.

• Utiliza capturas de pantalla e imágenes de perfiles reales de abogados

• Promete resultados de inmigración garantizados

✅ Manténgase a salvo:

• Verificar a los abogados directamente a través del sitio web oficial del Colegio de Abogados del Estado

• Póngase en contacto con las organizaciones a través de números de teléfono/sitios web oficiales

• Nunca envíe dinero o documentos personales sin verificación

Los Angeles and Guadalajara are deeply connected. The largest number of Mexican nationals in LA trace their roots to Jalisco, while many deportees and returnees arriving in Jalisco today are former Angelenos.

At LIJC’s Binational Migrant Advocacy Project (BMAP), we work alongside migrants navigating lives, families, and communities that span both sides of the border.

Stay tuned as we build a cross-border coalition committed to advancing migrant justice and strengthening support for our communities—because our advocacy, like our people, knows no borders.

We are incredibly proud of our outstanding LIJC students—Jocelyn, Stephanie, and Abigail—for receiving the MABF Scholarship. Their recognition is a testament to their hard work, leadership, and unwavering commitment to advancing immigrant justice and advocating for Latino communities. We celebrate not only this achievement, but also the impact they continue to make in the pursuit of equity, dignity, and access to justice. We cannot wait to see all you accomplish!

Thank you, , for inviting us to participate in El Mundialito. Events like these remind us that building strong, informed, and empowered communities happens both on and off the field. As we shared community resources and connected with families, we celebrated a simple truth: community, dignity, and belonging know no borders.

Gracias a PUND por invitarnos a participar en El Mundialito. Eventos como este nos recuerdan que la construcción de comunidades fuertes, informadas y empoderadas ocurre tanto dentro como fuera de la cancha. Mientras compartíamos recursos comunitarios y convivíamos con las familias, celebramos una verdad sencilla: la comunidad, la dignidad y el sentido de pertenencia no conocen fronteras.
