Volunteers and nonprofits are meeting people as they arrive and helping to provide housing, healthcare and food. But these immigrants are in a precarious position because they can’t legally work in the country until six months after they submit their asylum application. Meanwhile, that application process requires money for legal fees, and many of the non-profits that help immigrants with this process are at capacity. Reset speaks with Laura Mendoza, immigration organizer, The Resurrection Project, Johannes Javi, director of ICDI’s Chicago Immigrant Transit Assistance program, Nicole Hallett, director, Immigrants’ Rights Clinic, University of Chicago Law School, Ed Pratt, Executive Director, Interfaith Community for Detained Immigrants, about local efforts to support migrants’ needs in the short- and long-term needs

Producer: Lynnea Domienik, Char Daston
