Que Debo Hacer Si El Gobierno (o ICE) Esta Diciendo Que Tengo Una Condena Criminal Pero Yo Se Que Esto No Es Cierto?

Usted debería contratar a un abogado de inmigración el cual pueda averiguar exactamente cual es el cargo especifico que el gobierno esta presentando en contra suya. Esta semana, tuvimos un cliente  que fue detenido en su propia casa, antes del amanecer, después de que ICE toco a su puerta, y lo transfirieron al Centro de Detención de Stewart en Lumpkin, GA (2.5 horas al sur de Atlanta).

La esposa de nuestro cliente contrato a nuestra firma para que investigáramos exactamente lo que el gobierno iba a presentar en contra de su esposo y para que pidiéramos una fianza por el. ICE inicialmente nos dijo que nuestro cliente tenía una felonía agravada, lo cual es bastante serio (ejemplos de felonías agravadas son: pornografía y abuso infantil, ofensas relacionadas con armas de fuego, robo, trafico de drogas, etc.). Dos días después de que fuimos informados de esto, ICE empezó a alegar que ahora nuestro cliente tenia una condena por DUI de 1997 y que por eso estaba detenido. Para ese entonces, la esposa de nuestro cliente ya había recaudado una disposición certificada del condado donde vivía nuestro cliente y el único antecedente criminal que aparecía era un ticket por conducir sin licencia.

El día de la audiencia de fianza de nuestro cliente, el gobierno continuo alegando que nuestro cliente tenía un DUI, pero después de que nosotros presentáramos evidencias al contrario, el Juez de Inmigración lo dejo ir con fianza. Para este entonces, nuestro cliente ya había pasado casi 3 semanas en detención injustamente por un crimen que no cometió. Este es otro ejemplo del gobierno persiguiendo a gente que no son criminales.

Esta historia real demuestra que no porque el gobierno este alegando que algo es cierto lo hace realmente cierto. Contrate a un abogado que pueda defenderlo en corte en contra de alegaciones similares.

If You Are An Immigrant (even a US Citizen), Here Are 9 Things You Should Know

Are you a Naturalized U.S. Citizen, Lawful Permanent Resident, Visa Holder, or an Undocumented Immigrant? We recommend you take the following steps to protect yourself in our current version of America. The last couple of weeks have reminded immigrants, even naturalized U.S. citizens, that they were not born in the United States. Our office has received countless phone calls, emails, and social media messages from people worrying about what their family’s future in the United States holds. Most people want to know what they can do now to protect themselves from what promises to be a wave of anti-immigration activity by the federal government. Trump's Executive Order on Interior Enforcement has some provisions that should make most Americans shiver.  We recommend the following actions for each of the following groups: Naturalized U.S. citizens. In particular if you have a foreign accent, and you are traveling within 100 miles of any US Border (including the oceans...

Seven Reasons Why the Georgia Legislature Should Repeal HB-87

Recently the Alabama Attorney General called on the Alabama State Legislature to repeal parts of Alabama's horrid anti-immigration law ( HB 56), because of the "unintended" consequences of the bill (frankly, what happened was not unintended). Because of the similarity between the two laws, Georgia's Speaker of the House, David Ralston was asked whether Georgia Legislature would repeal part or all of HB 87, Georgia own anti-immigration law. HB 87 has caused almost a half a billion dollars in damage to the Georgia economy (along with untold suffering in Georgia's immigrant communities) without any noted or reported positive effect. Speaker Ralston plainly stated that the Georgia Legislature would NOT do anything to repeal HB 87 . While it understandable why a politician would not admit that a pet bill he shepherded and pushed through the state legislature was simply bad law, it is also clear that Speaker Ralston is facing a challenge on his RIGHT in th...

Why is USCIS Taking So Long to Renew DACA Work Permits?

If the calls to our office are any indicator, there are thousands of DACA recipients whose work permit applications were filed at least three months prior to expiration, who are still waiting for their renewed work permits.  Without renewed permits, these individuals lose the right to work legally, the right to drive, and may once again accrue unlawful presence. The DHS published a notice in October 2014 advising DACA recipients that they could file their request for extension up to 150 days (5 months) prior to expiration.  As with all things government, very few of the DACA recipients, who tend not to frequent government websites, knew about the memo and many did not file so far before expiration perhaps thinking that extending a work permit was a like extending a drivers license, its is done in a few minutes.  As an experienced immigration lawyer will tell you, the USCIS does nothing quickly, and certainly does not worry that a person may lose their job or their drive...
