Ilse began her path in immigration as a legal assistant in our Humanitarian Department. Intrigued by the complexities of the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) cases within her department, Ilse began her transition into our Removal Defense team where she now specializes in SIJS petitions. Ilse works in conjunction with several county courts in an effort to help aid an underserved immigrant community. Ilse has always had a passion for and hopes to continue, working with children in a field that allows her to positively impact younger generations.
