Sheila Solaimani’s LinkedIn shows that she is a pro bono attorney for Kids in Need of Defense (KIND).
KIND is a virulently anti-Trump, pro-open borders group. For example, KIND released the following press release in January 2021, titled “Scheduled Border Visit Marks Fitting End to Trump Administration’s Abysmal Immigration Record.” The press release opposed a Trump Administration effort to enforce increased standards on asylum seekers as an “attack on immigrants, a federal order to impose a sweeping set of asylum restrictions limiting access to relief for those seeking protection”:
Scheduled Border Visit Marks Fitting End to Trump Administration’s Abysmal Immigration Record
January 12, 2021
Washington, DC – Today, as President Trump prepares to visit the U.S.-Mexico border, Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) President Wendy Young issued the following statement:
“In the final days of his administration, President Trump is going to the border where thousands of children are living in dangerous camps, are preyed upon by traffickers and criminals, and were taken from their parents.
“This visit marks the end of a tragic period in which the U.S. government relentlessly targeted immigrant and refugee children and dramatically reduced protections for these children, increasing the likelihood that they would be unfairly returned to harm.
“We urge the incoming Biden Administration to immediately start the vital work of rebuilding the United States’ leadership in protecting the most vulnerable, including unaccompanied children on the move. President-elect Biden’s team faces a lengthy list of necessary steps to undo the chaos that currently permeates our nation’s immigration system. The first 100 days will be a critical time for our government to take stock of the challenges before us, restore order and access to legal protections at the border, and immediately act to address immigration policies that fail to reflect our nation’s most cherished ideals.”
President Trump’s scheduled trip to the border comes just days after a federal judge blocked his administration’s latest attack on immigrants, a federal order to impose a sweeping set of asylum restrictions limiting access to relief for those seeking protection, including children. KIND has called on the Biden Administration to restore order at the border and recommit to upholding the law ensuring unaccompanied migrant children have access to protection. In the first 100 days, the group is urging the new administration to:
• Ensure unaccompanied children are not unlawfully expelled and are allowed a fair opportunity to ask for protection in the United States
• Dedicate increased resources for legal representation of unaccompanied children
• Commit to reestablishing an in-country refugee processing program
• Reset foreign policy toward Central America and increase foreign assistance to the region with a priority on the development of programs that target the root causes of child migration, restoring the rule of law and respect for human rights
• Assemble a task force dedicated to reunifying families separated under the Trump Administration

KIND is a left-wing, pro-immigration activist group. That Sheila Solaimani volunteers with them is reflective of her ideological stance on immigration issues.
Solaimani is a leading member of the team implementing Biden's unlawful deferred action amnesty programs, having worked on the “Deferred Action Implementation Team.” In recognition of her and the team’s efforts, in 2024, Secretary Mayorkas presented the Deferred Action Implementation Team with the “Secretary’s Award for Team Excellence.” That Sheila Solaimani is member of the Deferred Action Implementation Team, a group lauded by failed DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, suggests that she is a loyal “team player” with the Biden administration’s open borders agenda and could not be relied upon to faithfully execute the policies of a conservative administration.
The Secretary’s Award for Team Excellence recognizes any unit within the Department (such as a Component, directorate, office, division, or section) with outstanding team achievements in operational areas such as law enforcement, aviation, cybersecurity, border patrol, hiring, acquisition, and information technology. The work will have resulted in measurable improvements in training and development and will have demonstrated an investment in the workforce to make it more capable. The work of the unit will include superior performance and significant operational improvements and/or notable innovation in support of DHS missions. The results will include an overall improvement in workforce morale.
