Elsa Raker is excited to join the Children’s Team at the Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project as a Justice Fellow in Tucson, AZ, where she will represent unaccompanied minors. In law school, she interned with the Center for Constitutional Rights and the Federal Practice of the Immigration Law Unit at The Legal Aid Society. As a student attorney at the CLEAR Project at CUNY Law, she represented clients targeted by the government for “extreme vetting” in their immigration cases, under the guise of national security and counterterrorism. She has also worked with the Asylum Program and Research & Investigations Unit at Physicians for Human Rights and interned with BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights in occupied Palestine.
