Program Description:
 
The Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network (RMIAN) is a Colorado nonprofit corporation and has been granted 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt status. Believing that all people should be afforded due process and an understanding of their legal options, RMIAN strives to provide legal services to the most vulnerable immigrant populations in Colorado: men and women in immigration detention in Aurora, CO, and abandoned or abused children throughout the state.  RMIAN provides daily know-your-rights presentations, individual intakes, pro se assistance, and legal representation to men and women held in the federal immigration detention facility in Aurora, Colorado.  RMIAN's Children's Program directly represents children who have survived neglect, abandonment, abuse, or persecution and trains professionals and educators throughout the state who work with immigrant children.  Unable to meet the overwhelming need for legal services, RMIAN refers both detention and children's cases to our network of pro bono attorneys.  RMIAN screens pro bono cases, writes referral memorandums, and provides professional liability insurance and a mentor attorney for each pro bono attorney.
