We are thrilled to share our client's remarkable 1-year journey to asylum — a story of resilience and the power of legal advocacy. From facing unimaginable violence in Haiti and Mexico to his prolonged detention in Texas, Marc's spirit never wavered. Thanks to Project Corazon and its partners, we celebrated his long-awaited reunion with his family on Christmas Eve 🌟 This victory is a testament to the importance of our work, especially as asylum continues to be put up on the chopping block time and time again.
