Mission Statement

SCIP is a public interest nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering services to victims of human rights violations by providing pro bono and low bono legal services to detained and non detained immigrants.

About This Cause

SCIP is a law firm that represents asylum seekers in removal proceedings while detained in the Imperial Regional Detention Facility or Otay Mesa Detention Center or non detained at the San Diego Immigration Court. SCIP predominately focuses on asylum seekers from Africa but also represents from other countries. SCIP's foundress has been doing asylum work for detained individuals for over 10 years. In 2020, we were able to help 85 clients with an 84% success rate. Without representation, the success rate is 31%. Tens of thousands of detained immigrants in the U.S. face deportation back to a country with unstable governments either unwilling or unable to protect its citizens. If returned, they face the immediate danger of physical harm, if not direct threats to their lives. Because undocumented immigrants do not have the right to an appointed immigration attorney, the majority of them concede to deportation because they cannot afford representation. SCIP’s mission is to give those seeking safety and stability in the U.S. a chance at a new and productive life.
