In Bridgeport, a city with a distinct immigrant flavor, two attorneys are forging a reputation as ombudswomen for undocumented minors. Their names are Danielle Robinson-Briand and Yazmin Rodriguez, both graduates of Quinnipiac School of Law who have joined forces to form the Esperanza Center for Law and Advocacy.
For these young lawyers, the debate over what to do with the thousands of young Central American immigrants streaming into the U.S. doesn’t start along the banks of the Rio Grande or in the halls of Congress. It starts in New Haven, where Rodriguez spoke at a recent rally in support of a compassionate U.S. policy toward the refugees, and elsewhere in southern Connecticut, where the duo represents children and teens whose back stories are equally harrowing and heart-breaking.
