San Antonio immigrant legal-aid group RAICES lays off 61 workers after federal funding freeze
RAICES, one of Texas' largest immigrant legal-aid groups, has laid off more than 60 staffers after the White House halted funding for refugee resettlement and mothballed other programs, according to the San Antonio Report. RAICES — or Refugee and Immigration Center for Education and Legal Services — is based in San Antonio but works on 10,000 cases annually throughout the Lone Star State, according to its website. The organization last week notified 61 of its workers that their employment would terminate at the end of the month, according to a filing with the Texas Workforce Commission.
