Interested in impact litigation and migrant rights? Sign up for an appointment with Ben Botts, Legal Director of the Centro de los Derechos del Migrante, Inc., from Jan. 29-31.
Ben engages in impact litigation, direct services and community education focused on removing the U.S.-Mexico border as a barrier to access to justice. His work has a specific focus on the rights of migrants who travel to the U.S. to work on H-2A agricultural and H-2B non-agricultural temporary work visas. Prior to working at Centro de los Derechos del Migrante, Ben was a trial attorney with the Office of the Solicitor of the U.S. Department of Labor, where he handled appellate litigation in federal courts of appeals, legal advice, and regulatory matters. In 2012, he moved to the Regional Solicitor’s Office in San Francisco, where he focused on litigating wage and hour cases in low-wage industries, winning an order of more than $2.2 million in back pay and penalties for hundreds of farmworkers on H-2A visas.
