Just Futures Law Applauds President Biden’s Pardon For Ravi Ragbir, Long Time Immigrant Rights Activist

“President Biden has taken action to protect one of this country’s basic principles: freedom of expression without government retaliation.”

As an organization that defends immigrant rights’ activists from government retaliation, Just Futures Law applauds President Biden’s granting of a presidential pardon for immigrant rights’ activist, Ravi Ragbir. Ravi Ragbir is a husband, father, and nationally recognized community leader who during the first Trump administration was targeted by ICE for his outspoken advocacy on behalf of immigrant communities. Today’s presidential pardon will grant Ravi Ragbir permanent protection from deportation, and will provide him and his family the relief they have long sought.

From Paromita Shah, Executive Director of Just Futures Law:

“Ravi Ragbir is an asset to his community and his community has shown up for him. This wouldn’t be possible without the persistent and determined advocacy of groups and organizers. We are grateful that before leaving office, President Biden has taken action to demonstrate one of this country’s core principles: freedom of expression without government retaliation.”
