Over the years, we found that the name Justice For Our Neighbors-Nebraska (JFON-NE) didn’t help people to understand exactly what we do. In 2018, Justice For Our Neighbors-Nebraska changed its name to Immigrant Legal Center (ILC). We chose the name to communicate clearly the nature and scope of our work. We continue our affiliation with the JFON network.
While maintaining JFON’s core immigration legal services, ILC added programs and partnerships that reduce barriers to access the justice system for matters related to family law, fair working conditions, and health care. The programs provide an opportunity to test our research and assumptions and clarify our plans. This holistic approach positions us to address the interwoven legal issues that prevent immigrants from fully participating in their communities.
