The Advocates for Human Rights honors Democracy Forward with a Pro Bono Litigation Counsel Award

The award is in recognition of our work to protect the rights of people detained in Minnesota, including those unlawfully sent to other detention centers and denied access to lawyers.

The Advocates for Human Rights honored Democracy Forward with a Pro Bono Litigation Counsel Award at their 2026 Human Rights Awards Dinner, recognizing our contributions in representing the organization in The Advocates for Human Rights et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The case challenges unlawful immigration detention practices in Minnesota that block detained individuals from accessing lawyers.
