Protecting civil & human rights,
supporting legal service providers.
Mission Statement
The Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law (CHRCL) is a support center that provides training and technical support to direct legal service providers, addresses systemic injustice LSPs identify, and advances and protects the civil, constitutional, and human rights of immigrants, refugees, children, and marginalized communities.
The Fight for Legal Rights Has Never Been More Important
In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards more restrictive immigration policies, driven by growing political and social tensions. This has led to increased enforcement actions, including mass detentions and deportations, which disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.​
