Jason Marks

For more than two decades, Jason Marks has worked where law, institutions, and human lives intersect. He led post-conviction capital-defense investigations across the Deep South, represented plaintiffs in California courts, taught law in Ukraine, and spent eleven years at USCIS, where he adjudicated thousands of asylum and refugee cases, supervised refugee officers, and served as an Asylum Training Officer. For four years, Marks also served as Chief Union Steward for USCIS Refugee Affairs, representing colleagues facing disciplinary and other adverse employment actions. He led public advocacy on behalf of asylum and refugee officers and organized union amicus participation in several major national cases challenging refugee and asylum policies adopted during the first Trump administration.
