Our Mission

Al Otro Lado provides holistic legal and humanitarian support to refugees, deportees, and other migrants in the US and Tijuana through a multidisciplinary, client-centered, harm reduction-based practice.

We provide direct, free, legal services on both sides of the US-Mexico border and beyond. We engage in zealous individual representation,  medical-legal partnerships, and impact litigation to protect the rights of immigrants and asylum-seekers.

OUR PROGRAMS

We offer a diverse, multi-faceted approach with a trauma- informed lens to our legal work. We believe all migrants deserve access to due process no matter where you come from.

 
There are people on the ground and agencies fighting for those detained, who are working to stop further harm perpetuated by this administration. Agencies like Al Otro Lado, which is working at the border and providing as much legal representation as it can to asylees.
