Missouri mandates E-Verify for public employers and limits undocumented access to licenses and tuition benefits. Some cities, like St. Louis and Kansas City, offer more inclusive policies, but statewide enforcement remains firm. Legal assistance focuses on family unification, DACA renewals, asylum, and detention defense. With little statewide support, immigrant communities rely heavily on legal professionals for protection and lawful residency planning. Missouri’s immigration law landscape requires vigilance, especially for families facing enforcement or limited access to public services.
