Tahirih received an update from the DHS assuring that the DHS-VINE database will no longer disclose the federally-protected personal information of victims of crime.

ICE shared with Tahirih in a July 14 letter that it has removed from its publicly searchable database all federally protected information on immigrant victims of crime.

Tahirih’s legislative advocacy and groundbreaking legal research on child marriage laws were recently featured in a PBS Frontline series on child marriage in America.

Jeanne Smoot, Tahirih’s Senior Counsel for Policy and Strategy, joined Al Jazeera English’s The Stream to discuss the movement to end child marriage in the U.S.

Tahirih issued this statement on the Supreme Court’s decision to hear legal arguments on the constitutionality of the travel ban Executive Order and to allow the Order to go into limited effect.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a bill to reform minimum marriage age laws to raise the age “floor” to 17 and put in judicial safeguards against forced marriage. Tahirih was honored to attend the bill signing in Albany.

The Huffington Post highlights Tahirih’s efforts to draft and drive a bill banning child marriage in Texas.
