Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) stands on the frontlines of law and conscience, defending Muslim Americans from being erased from the systems meant to protect them. Journalists are being silenced, community leaders detained, and deporting families at record speed.
The system is accelerating, and it’s failing the very people it was meant to protect.
Your support to the Justice Fund fuels the work that decides whether we live in a nation of justice, or one defined by erasure.
In this moment of unprecedented repression, MLFA stands as the nation’s only legal organization defending Muslim Americans at the federal level—inside courtrooms, before Congress, and across the country.
The MLFA Justice Fund powers everything we do. It is our unrestricted resource, the engine behind every attorney, every motion filed, every constitutional defense mounted in the face of discrimination, criminalization, and political intimidation.

The Stakes
They came for Irfan Khan, held in solitary confinement for 317 days on charges the FBI knew were false.
They came for Ayman Soliman, a respected prison chaplain taken from his congregation.
They came for Yaa’kub Ira Vijandre a targeted not for a crime, but for his words.
They came for Sami Hamdi, a journalist arrested for his speech.
These are the names you know. But for every headline, there are hundreds more whose stories never reach the public.
Behind the scenes, MLFA’s legal teams are defending 138 clients with 369 active matters including over 41 active litigation, families, students, nonprofits, and everyday Muslims whose lives and rights are under attack.
We are the first call every major civil rights organization makes when expert federal litigation for Muslims in America is needed.
Unrestricted. Unrelenting. Unstoppable.
The MLFA Justice Fund is not tied to one program or one case. It is the foundation that gives us strength and flexibility to respond wherever we’re needed most
- when ICE detains our community leaders,
- when states criminalize free speech,
- when universities silence students,
- when nonprofits face government scrutiny,
- and when Congress rewrites the laws that shape our future.
