Founded in 1978, Immigration Counseling Service (ICS) is a nonprofit immigration law firm that serves Oregon and southwest Washington. Our mission is to achieve equity and justice for immigrants and their families by providing accessible services to uphold their legal rights. Through deliberate and direct engagement, ICS brings the voices and experiences of immigrants to the decision-making table. We honor and respect the contributions made by immigrants to keep our economy strong and our communities vibrant. The ultimate impact of our work is stronger, more caring, and more inclusive communities where all individuals are valued regardless of immigration status. ICS has represented thousands of immigrants and refugees from more than 100 countries. We collaborate with community partners to meet the basic needs and restore the fundamental human rights of immigrants and refugees by providing: 1. General legal services, including preventing wrongful deportation, keeping families together, achieving citizenship, and securing work authorizations; 2. Education, legal services, and legal defense for unaccompanied children, who are immigrants under the age of 18 that are apprehended at the border without a parent and detained in facilities in Oregon; 3. Monthly mobile legal clinics to provide services in underserved rural communities; and 4. Free community education presentations to educate vulnerable immigrants on their legal rights.
