About the Film: From Here/From There (De Aquí/De Allá) is a timely documentary that underscores the urgent need for compassionate immigration reform and legal representation for families facing the threat of illegal detention and deportation.

Luis Cortes Romero, Redwood City local and graduate of San Jose State, isn’t your typical member of the Supreme Court Bar. This DACA recipient and charismatic attorney knows first hand what it is like to suffer the impacts of family division due to deportation.

When the Trump administration abruptly threatens to deport 700,000 fellow Dreamers, Luis fights back, co-piloting an A-Team of lawyers who takes their case all the way to the Supreme Court, making Luis the first undocumented immigrant to argue before the nation’s highest court.

FUND RAISER: The event also seeks to raise funds to support the thousands of local community members facing the daily threat of unlawful detention and deportation, through a newly created Presbytery Legal Aid Relief. Access to legal counsel makes the difference between family unity and permanent separation. LEARN MORE.
