Legal Services for Undocumented Students

Legal Consultations

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), in collaboration with Los Rios Community College District, offers free virtual and in-person immigration consultations to Los Rios students, faculty, and staff. CHIRLA immigration services include:

• Immigration Relief Screenings
• DACA Renewals
• Advance Parole
• Naturalization/Citizenship
• Adjustment of Status
• Family-Based Immigration
• Know Your Rights

Our college offers both in-person and virtual consultations. To make an appointment with CHIRLA, visit Find Your Ally.

You are not required to state the nature of your case/question to a staff member to make an appointment with a legal representative.

Note: As of Spring 2025, a minimum of three in-person appointments must be scheduled for the CHIRLA representative to come to campus on designated days. In-person appointments are released one month in advance, and appointments beyond that timeframe may not appear in the scheduling system. If you schedule an in-person appointment, please be aware that CHIRLA may contact you if the modality of your appointment changes (e.g., from in-person to virtual). If you need urgent assistance and no appointments are available, please reach out to your college’s Undocumented Student Center for further support.

• Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) - is a federal law that prohibits schools from disclosing personally identifiable information in a student’s “education records” to a third party without the consent of the student (or parent, if the student is under 18 years old).
• SB 183 - This law extends existing protection regarding equal rights and opportunities in post-secondary educational institutions in California from being subjected to discrimination on those bases of immigration status.
• SB 54 - The California Values Act declares that immigrants are valuable and essential members of the California community. This law ensures that no state and local resources are used to assist federal immigration enforcement and that our schools and colleges are safe spaces for everyone in our community.
