Located in the border and gateway city of El Paso, Texas, Las Americas recognizes the importance of our countries history of providing safe haven for those fleeing unjust and oppressive situations.
By providing critical legal services to underserved immigrants in our community, Las Americas has become a place where people can come seeking hope, unencumbered, feel their own dignity, and are empowered by their struggles.
Through our efforts, the community is made aware of the need to protect immigrants’ rights, the value of immigrants in our community and the many gifts they bring to this nation. In turn, Las Americas’ role as a community educator on issues affecting the people we serve can foster increased volunteerism and renewed community support across partisan lines.
"The mission of Las Americas is to protect the human rights of El Paso’s most vulnerable population: unaccompanied immigrant children who come to the U.S. to escape abuse/neglect and persecution; refugees; and battered women and children, by providing high quality pro-bono legal representation and advocacy to these indigent immigrants.”
