U.S. law states that asylum seekers have the “privilege” of representation—but at their personal cost. Asylum seekers must either find pro bono representation or pay for private counsel. According to TRAC (Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse), applicants with representation are much more likely to be granted asylum—but
only about 37% of immigrants have representation, and only 14% of detained immigrants.
