A team of Fried Frank lawyers recently volunteered at the US-Mexico border with the ABA’s Pro Bono Asylum Representation Project (ProBAR). The week-long trip combined educational experiences with critical legal work to support recently arrived individuals at or near the Rio Grande border. Led by pro bono counsel Karen Grisez and senior counsel Gail Weinstein, the team also included associates George W. Coello, Angell N. Darvalics and Miyoshie Lamothe-Aime. Check out the video below from the American Bar Association Commission on Immigration for photos from the trip.
Check out the Commission’s new video spotlighting the recent pro bono trip to the Rio Grande Valley! Members of the Commission on Immigration and attorneys from Fried Frank volunteered for a week at American Bar Association ProBAR. They helped 142 recently arrived migrants apply for work authorization as part of ProBAR’s Access to Work program, and assisted individuals in ICE Detention to prepare for their Credible Fear Interviews. Thank you again to the volunteers for their hard work and to ProBAR for their dedication to empowering immigrants in the Rio Grande Valley through high-quality legal information, representation, and connections to services.

A federal district court judge in Texas recently granted a limited preliminary injunction staying the FTC’s ban on most employment non-competes from being enforced against those plaintiffs, pending the court’s ruling on the merits (expected by August 30). The court held that the FTC lacks the authority to create the rule, the rule is likely arbitrary and capricious and plaintiffs would be irreparably harmed.
