“We are immensely grateful for the amazing support that Maddy has provided,” American Gateways said. “Not only have they donated hundreds of hours in commenting on proposed regulations that would have negatively impacted the lives of all asylum seekers, but they have also donated hundreds of hours in directly representing a number of our clients seeking asylum and seeking release from dangerous detention conditions. Maddy’s dedication to our mission and our clients is phenomenal.”
