The Harris County Commissioners Court approved roughly $1.34 million to renew its Immigrant Legal Services Fund, which provides direct legal representation to low-income county residents who are in immigration detention or facing deportation through a network of nonprofit providers. The Court separately approved $100,000 for the Houston Immigration Legal Services Collaborative to operate an immigrant resource hotline that serves as a central intake point connecting residents to those legal providers. The fund, first created in 2020, operates on a universal-representation model.
