The University of California Immigrant Legal Services Center was created in 2014 to provide free immigration legal services with the goal of supporting the entire university community by expanding legal equity. Yoxira Espinoza, a University of California Immigrant Legal Services Center (UCIMM) staff attorney, has been serving UC Santa Barbara since Oct. 2025. The services provided by UCIMM include legal consultations and representation in matters that include Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) renewals, as well as applications for permanent residency, naturalization and citizenship, among others. The center also works to provide community education and resources to ensure UC affiliates are informed about changes related to immigration policy. She said she believes her position as an immigration attorney is a way to give back to students and the overall community.
