Authored By: Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project

For over thirty years, the Florence Project has pursued empowerment and justice for detained immigrants in Arizona. These self-help materials are designed for people who are detained to use in representing themselves when applying for some common forms of legal relief from removal. These publications are meant to provide useful basic information about immigration law and detention in removal in Arizona and were created in the course of the Florence Project’s work. Under no circumstances do they constitute legal advice.
