This spring, ProBAR walked with a family whose home burned down overnight, stood alongside an asylum seeker who has a work permit but still fears every checkpoint, and fought to bring children home from prolonged detention. We armed community members with Know-Your-Rights knowledge, showed up before dawn for a client who refused to give up, and witnessed what happens when orderly paths become targets for removal. Read our Spring Newsletter for a closer look at the crisis, the resilience, and the work you make possible.
