MinKwon Sees Surge of Immigration-Related Calls
In February, MinKwon’s legal and social services continued to serve the community, with increases seen in immigration-related services and consultations.

Also this month, MinKwon’s free tax preparation clinics roared into action, with hundreds expected to receive help before the filing deadline.
