It is one of nine refugee resettlement agencies working with the Office of Refugee Resettlement[2] and one of only two that serves unaccompanied refugee minors.[3] LIRS also advocates for just policies and practices relating to immigration and detention.[4][5] As an organization, LIRS originates from the response of American Lutherans in 1939 to the needs of Europeans displaced because of World War II,[6] but the roots of the organization reach back to the 1860s when the New York Ministerium and the Pennsylvania Ministerium joined together to help and protect Lutheran immigrants in the US.[7] Since then the organization’s scope has expanded to include any refugees entering the US, support for asylum seekers[8] and migrants,[9][10] and services to unaccompanied children (UACs). LIRS continues to be a faith-based organization and maintains relationships with three national Lutheran denominations: the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.[11] The current president and CEO of LIRS is Krish O'Mara Vignarajah (2019-present).[12] References1. ^LIRS 2013 Annual Report 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/resource/voluntary-agencies |title=Voluntary Agencies | Office of Refugee Resettlement | Administration for Children and Families |publisher=Acf.hhs.gov |date=2012-07-17 |accessdate=2015-09-03}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/programs/urm/about |title=About Unaccompanied Refugee Minors | Office of Refugee Resettlement | Administration for Children and Families |publisher=Acf.hhs.gov |date= |accessdate=2015-09-03}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2014/10/30/immigrant-detention-centers-in-texas-new-mexico-have-old-problems-report-finds |title=Immigrant Detention Centers in Texas, New Mexico Have Old Problems, Report Finds |publisher=US News |date=2014-10-30 |accessdate=2015-09-03}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://lirs.org/familyvalues/ |title=‘Locking Up Family Values, Again’ Report |publisher=Lirs.org |date=2013-01-24 |accessdate=2015-09-03}} 6. ^Solberg, Richard W.
