Louisiana Advocates for Immigrants in Detention is a grassroots, mostly volunteer state-wide organization that assists immigrants in the 10 Louisiana detention centers and 1 Mississippi detention center. LaAID volunteers are on the ground working in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Monroe, Ruston, Alexandria, Shreveport, and Natchez, MS, to provide transportation, meals, and overnight hosting for released immigrants as they travel to their family/sponsor. We ensure that guests have a safe place to sleep before traveling to family or for family to pick-up. We also visit and write letters to people in detention, advocate for humane treatment and medical care within detention through ICE, and communicate with detained immigrant’s families to provide resource materials for them to navigate the DHS/ICE process. We are not attorneys and do not provide legal representation for immigrants.
