Why It Matters
Masa Group LLC terminated its lobbying engagement with the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), according to a July 20 filing recently made public. The termination of the LDA engagement came less than three months after the immigrant-led consulting firm .
Masa Group LLC reported $0 in lobbying compensation for NILC in its quarter three 2026 termination filing.
Broader Context
The timing of Masa Group's termination follows significant congressional action on immigration enforcement. The Secure America Act passed the House and delivered approximately $70 billion in new funding to the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for immigration enforcement and border security through fiscal year 2029.
NILC pursues change through impact litigation, policy advocacy, movement-building, and narrative and culture change. The organization works across multiple issue areas including health care access for immigrants, education access, driver's license access for undocumented immigrants, economic assistance programs, and workers' rights.
In the second quarter of 2025, NILC reported $60,000 in in-house lobbying compensation and lobbied on issues related to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1). That engagement predated the Masa Group relationship.
During its engagement with Masa Group, NILC lobbied on budget reconciliation legislation addressing immigration policy, including provisions affecting visa processing, immigration fees, border security funding, and related immigration system reform.
