Description 1 online resource (1 video file (approximately 92 min.)) : sound, color Summary Las Abogadas follows a group of women immigration attorneys over a multi-year odyssey as the U.S. government under President Trump upends every law meant to protect those fleeing from persecution, violence and war. From setting up a legal clinic in a Volkswagen bus in the middle of 5,000 desperate migrants, to convincing border guards to follow the law and accept a blind woman into U.S. custody, to counseling African migrants stuck in Tijuana, to giving legal advice in the brutally hot Mexican sun to migrant families desperate to reach American soil — we watch our characters' surreal journeys to try and help.From setting up a legal clinic in a Volkswagen bus in the middle of 5,000 desperate migrants, to convincing border guards to follow the law and accept a blind woman into U.S. custody, to counseling African migrants stuck in Tijuana, to giving legal advice in the brutally hot Mexican sun to migrant families desperate to reach American soil — we watch our characters' surreal journeys to try and help Notes Streaming video file Credits Camera, Nancy Bonilla ; editor, Simon Efokoa ; composer, Dan Radlauer Notes In English, French, Spanish, Amharic, and Cameroonian Pidgin with optional English subtitles; closed-captioned Online resource; title from title frames (New Day Films, viewed April 10, 2024) Subject Emigration and immigration -- United States -- Government policy Emigration and immigration -- United States -- Moral and ethical aspects Immigrants -- United States -- Social conditions Illegal immigration -- United States Noncitizens -- United States Illegal immigration Emigration and immigration Emigration and immigration law Noncitizens Immigrants -- Social conditions Noncitizens.
