About Me
[edit]I am an editor based in the United States. I occasionally take an interest in creating, improving, or cleaning up specific articles, but otherwise generally spend my time wikignoming random articles, checking up on my watchlist, or looking out for vandalism.
I am currently between projects and on a bit of a wiki-break.
Past Non-Article Projects
[edit]Past projects I've worked on besides specific articles include:
- Fully cleared the backlog of 247 bot-created judge biography pages from the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges needing merging into biography pages for Wikiproject U.S. Courts and Judges.
- Recent-changes & Anti-Vandalism patrolling

National Immigration Litigation Alliance (NILA) is a non-profit organization in Brookline, Massachusetts. NILA's mission is to "protect, enforce, and expand the rights of noncitizens and individuals perceived to be noncitizens through federal court litigation and to empower immigration lawyers with the support, skills, and guidance needed to pursue these goals."[1] NILA was founded in 2020.[2]
Work
[edit]NILA engages in impact litigation in the federal courts. Their past lawsuits include challenges to conditions of confinement in short-term U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention facilities, to the expansion of Expedited removal, and to the denial of immigration benefits to people with Temporary protected status. [3][4][5][6][7]
[Could insert more, need to figure out which cases are worth mentioning]
NILA also regularly brings suits under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) seeking government records related to immigration policies.[8][9]
NILA publishes practice advisories, holds webinars, and provides co-counseling and strategic assistance to attorneys.[10] As part of this work, it maintains a partnership with the Children's Immigration Law Academy of the American Bar Association.[11]
Recognition
[edit]In 2024, NILA received the Special Partnership Award from the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project.[12]
