Employers, landlords and most licensing agencies can’t look at expunged records – it’s illegal. You can start your expungement process today.

Ana fled Nicaragua at age 17 with her husband, Luis, and infant son, Miguel. After being detained in an immigration shelter in Chicago, she was unfairly cited for child abuse. Our grantee @AscendJustice helped clear her name & reunite her with her son.
