When ICE threatens 700,000 fellow Dreamers, Luis Cortes Romero fights back — and becomes the first undocumented attorney to argue a case at the U.S. Supreme Court. A charismatic immigration attorney and DACA recipient, Luis risks his own safety to join a powerful and highly visible legal team. Their stunning Supreme Court win fortifies a growing, vigorous and urgent campaign for compassionate immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship.

Within days of his inauguration, President Biden introduced the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. Congress is scheduled to debate this legislation. Will it come to a vote in both houses, or stall yet again? In the courts, critics continue to challenge DACA, creating more uncertainty for the Dreamers. This ongoing crisis forms the social and political context of UNDOCUMENTED JUSTICE.

Luis’ story resonates because, at its heart, it is about family, struggle, and the meaning of home. Luis is but one of hundreds of thousands fighting for their future and challenging the narrative around immigration justice.
