The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota (ILCM) was founded in 1976 as Oficina Legal, a program of Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services (SMRLS). Oficina Legal established itself as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1996 due to federal restrictions on legal aid offices. The agency was later renamed to reflect the increasing diversity of the immigrant population it served. Over the last decade ILCM has established itself as Minnesota’s premier provider of comprehensive immigration legal services to low-income clients of all nationalities.
Our mission is to provide quality immigration legal services, law-related education, and advocacy to meet the steadily increasing needs of Minnesota’s immigrant and refugee communities.
We realize this mission by:
* Remedying legal problems, providing quality immigration legal services to low-income immigrants and refugees of all nationalities
* Preventing legal problems, providing law-related education to immigrants and refugees of all nationalities and
* Raising public awareness of immigration issues, so as to encourage sound public policy that protects the universal human rights of immigrants and is both compassionate and practical.
