Benjamin
A story of resciliency and cooperation
Benjamin and Son
The story of Benjamin's journey to the United States is one of love, tenacity, and teamwork.
LIJC has had the honor of representing Benjamin in his immigration matter over the course of seven years, during which he was represented by five different clinical students who zealously advocated for him to remain in the United States. On February 11, 2022, LIJC celebrated with Homeboy Industries when Benjamin received his visa. LIJC is extremely proud of Benjamin's tenacity and the exceptional work of his attorney students: Heriberto Veliz ‘16, Ricardo Chavez ‘16, Ozzie Rocha ‘21, Angela Griffin ‘22 and Jaime Jimenez ‘22.
