Assist Immigrants & Refugees<\/h2>\n

Immigration Services<\/h1>\n

Catholic Charities of Los Angeles (CCLA) provides support and advocacy to individuals and families, helping them to legalize their residency status and become naturalized citizens. The primary objective is to reunite families by legalizing persons residing in the United States without lawful immigration status, and by assisting in the lawful immigration of family members to the United States. The program is structured to encourage economic independence in immigrant families, assimilation into the broader culture and a commitment to giving back to society.<\/p>\n

The CCLA Immigration and Refugee Resettlement Program has been featured on multiple media outlets. On February 22, Gabriel Castro, Directing Attorney for Catholic Charities\u2019 Immigration Program, spoke with CGTN America about recent government focus on undocumented immigrants in the United States. Mr. Castro discussed how immigrants can preserve their legal rights, as well as the limited protection offered by sanctuary cities, such as Los Angeles. You can view full coverage here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
