The Center for Immigrant Protection (CIP) was founded in 2015 by two immigration attorneys,
Okan Sengun, Esq. and Brooke Westling, Esq.
The LGBT Asylum Project
The Center for Immigrant Protection primarily delivers the LGBT Asylum Project.
The LGBT Asylum Project was created due to a critical need for accessible legal representation among vulnerable immigrant populations escaping violence and persecution in their home countries because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The LGBT Asylum Project provides direct legal advice, counsel, and representation to immigrants that identify as LGBTQ+ and need assistance to submit and process their affirmative asylum application.
