Dominguez been a part of this effort since its inception and will now take on a more official role as Immigration Attorney. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I look forward to continuing to collaborate with NHCLC, an organization that is committed to advocacy for social justice and immigration reform on behalf of hard working immigrants that protects the sanctity of families,&#8221; said Dominguez. &#8220;Throughout the years, the Evangelical Church has played a pivotal role in shaping the history of our nation. I look forward to working with pastors and their churches to assist them in their calling to protect the sanctity of millions of families. Keeping immigrant workers and parents informed about their rights and teaching them how to protect those rights will empower them in their daily pursuit of keeping their families together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez was born in <span class=\"xn-location\">Peru<\/span> and has lived in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> since she was 14. She received her undergraduate degree from <span class=\"xn-org\">Pepperdine University<\/span> and her JD degree with honors from the University of Verne College of Law. She founded the Law Offices of Attorney <span class=\"xn-person\">Jessica Dominguez<\/span> in 2002 with the mission of keeping families together by giving them tools and resources to navigate the immigration system. <\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0NHCLC\/CONEL is the world&#8217;s largest Hispanic Christian organization, which serves as a representative voice the more than 100 million Hispanic Evangelicals assembled in more than 40,000 U.S. churches and hundreds of thousands of additional congregations worldwide throughout the Spanish-speaking diaspora.
