The Queer Detainee Empowerment Project (QDEP) is dedicated to supporting LGBTQIA individuals emerging from immigration detention by providing essential health, wellness, educational, legal, and emotional resources. Through advocacy and organizing efforts, QDEP addresses the systemic barriers and state violence faced by transgender, gender non-conforming, and undocumented individuals based on their immigration status, race, sexuality, and gender identity.

QDEP is committed to fostering an environment where individuals can thrive beyond mere survival by advocating for the abolition of deportations, detention, and policing. The organization also features a Leadership Development Program, which empowers transgender women, cis-gender queer women, and gender non-conforming immigrants to cultivate leadership skills and build supportive networks.
