The Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice is a nonprofit legal services organization based in Boston, Massachusetts, established by founding attorney Jill Seeber and co-founder Daniel Santiago after a personal experience with asylum seekers and the U.S. asylum process. Its work focuses on providing skilled and efficient representation for complex and urgent asylum cases, particularly for women and children fleeing violence and torture, including those navigating pro se proceedings. The center emerged from early efforts like the Family Detention Project in Cambridge, which helped families file asylum applications with the Boston Immigration Court, highlighting a commitment to accessible legal aid for vulnerable migrants. With a footprint in the legal services sector, the organization targets asylum seekers who require experienced advocacy to secure refuge in the United States. The center serves as a resource within the immigrant justice landscape, aiming to strengthen outcomes for those facing onerous asylum procedures and urgent protection needs.
