In a landmark decision, the New York State Bar Association has announced its support for providing the right to counsel for detained immigrants. This move follows growing concerns over the treatment of asylum seekers and immigrants in US detention centers. The association, which represents over 77,000 lawyers in the state, has long advocated for the importance of access to justice for all individuals, regardless of their immigration status. By backing the right to counsel, the New York State Bar Association is joining a growing chorus of advocates pushing for reform in the US immigration system.
