Protecting Immigrant & Refugee Rights in Unprecedented Times
A Conversation with Jorge Baron, Executive Director of Northwest Immigration Rights Project

Jorge L. Barón has served as the Executive Director of Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) since April 2008, having previously worked as a NWIRP staff attorney, serving immigrants detained at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.

Jorge’s passion in advocating is rooted in his own immigrant experience. Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, he immigrated to the US at the age of thirteen. Jorge graduated from Duke University & spent 5 years working in the film industry before receiving his law degree from Yale Law.
