After receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the Justice Department, requiring it to undertake formal representation of people it assists in immigration court, the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project turned to its longtime law firm partner DWT for help. We filed suit, challenging the action, and quickly won a temporary restraining order. The judge agreed that DOJ's demand was a violation of the organization's free speech rights and could force many immigrants to go without legal assistance of any kind. Jaime Drozd Allen and Jamie Corning argued the case, while Laura-Lee Williams, Robbie Miller, and Michele Radosevich contributed on briefing.
