Another fantastic win for our client. Judge granted the client's immediate release, not just a bond hearing, finding that our client's constitutional rights were injured so greviously, the only proper remedy was release. Now he can be with his family and in the free world while we fight his removal case. 

We won a writ of Habeas Corpus in state court after showing that our client was never properly advised about the immigration consequences of his marijuana case. The judge agreed, erased the conviction, and allowed the case to start over with all of our client’s rights fully protected.

Our client was facing removal based on an alleged CIMT (Crime Involving Moral Turpitude) conviction. We challenged the charge and showed that, under the law, the statute did not meet the legal definition of a CIMT. The Immigration Judge agreed and terminated the case. Another family kept together.

The Federal Judge in this case ordered the client's IMMEDIATE RELEASE. As of this writing, our client has been released from detention and can breathe a sigh of relief and reunite with their family as we prepare her immigration case, with her help, from our office and not behind plexiglass and. barbed wire. Huge kudos to attorney Stephanie Pimentel, who's legal research, writing, and persistence made this possible.
