In the short time that Jordan Cunnings has been working as an Equal Justice Works fellow, she’s seen big changes. Cunnings is counseling immigrant parents to take action to keep their U.S.-born children out of foster care if those parents should be detained.
Working since September 2015 at Public Counsel in Los Angeles as an EJW fellow sponsored by ALM Media, Cunnings has represented detained immigrant parents whose children are in California’s dependency system, seeking the parents’ release and the children’s return. (ALM is The Recorder’s parent company.)
