Pangea's detained legal services program focuses on assisting immigrants detained by ICE in local jails and private detention facilities, including West County Detention Center (Richmond, CA), Yuba County Jail (Marysville, CA), Mesa Verde Detention Facility (Bakersfield, CA) and Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center (Elk Grove, CA).
Our attorneys conduct legal intakes twice a week over the phone with family members or friends seeking advice or representation for a detained loved one. Whenever possible, Pangea takes on representation before the San Francisco detained Immigration Court and other agencies processing detained cases. Our attorneys strive to provide free, full-scope representation to an increasing number of detained individuals, as part of a collective effort to achieve universal representation.
