In this current political climate, immigrants have been in quicksand. Many, many people are getting swept up in a broadening net of enforcement. Custody is much more common and getting someone out of ICE custody is harder than it ever was before. How many times has your phone rung in your office only to hear the following: “Help! My husband has just been detained by ICE. I don’t know what to do!” A mother, brother, husband, or child has just been detained by Immigration and the family has no idea what do to next. Where is the client? Where will they be taken? What happens next? What are the client’s rights? How do the local jails treat immigration detainees and what are the special visitation policies?
This seminar focuses on some of the fundamentals and a few advanced tips of what to do when your client encounters the immigration consequences of criminal charges. If you represent non-citizen criminal defendants you must attend this seminar.
