Sarah Hewitt sharing her experience with Asylum Law Project in Palo Alto, CA:
“We’re at a clinic called Community Legal Services of East Palo Alto (CLSEPA). The attorneys here are great, and they’ve done a fantastic job making this a truly educational experience for us. Tomorrow we’ll be observing an immigration hearing in San Fran and then touring a juvenile facility called Hillcrest. We’ll also be attending a clinic on domestic violence and restraining orders.
The work we’re doing involves helping immigrants from El Salvador renew their Temporary Protected Status designations. Today we’ve been working on writing and translating a phone script, and we’ll be using it Thursday to talk to Salvadorans who have used the services here in the past.”
