I will never stop being a broken record. People in deportation proceedings face incarceration and permanent removal from the United States. In criminal proceedings where there is the threat of jail time a public defender is given and in immigration proceedings the penalty is arguably worse or could actually equal incarceration far longer than many criminal sentences. Also, immigrants as a group tend to be one that do not speak English as their first language but need to go through complicated, document-heavy proceedings in English where they only get an interpreter during court but not for their documents. Proceedings are extremely complex. Even seasoned attorneys who don’t do removal defense struggle in court. How can someone who doesn’t know anything about the legal system, who often do not speak English, actually have a chance at representing themselves? They can’t.

My esteemed Paralegals and fellow members of the Public, Today, I come before you with a call to arms, a rallying cry for justice, and a testament to our unwavering resolve in the face of unjust opposition. Our battle is not merely for ourselves but for the very principles of fairness and equality within our legal system and the public interest. Behold the Factum for our Notice of motion for leave to appeal in our immigration case, a document that lays bare the egregious overreach of the Law Society. Caruso strikes back with unparalleled force, exposing their blatant disregard for the laws enshrined in the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultant Act. We are not merely permitted to practice immigration law; we are entitled to it by law. To those who would dare deny us our rightful place, heed the words of the Law Society Act itself. It is crystal clear: the provision of legal services extends far beyond the confines of traditional legal practitioners. We, as paralegals, possess the knowledge, the skill, and the right to draft documents, offer advice, and represent our clients before adjudicative bodies. But alas, our adversaries have resorted to despicable tactics in their attempts to stifle our progress. They play games with us, withholding vital documents, and obstructing the course of justice. They act with impunity, betraying the very oath they took to uphold the law. No more shall we tolerate such flagrant abuse of power! No more shall we stand idly by as they trample upon our rights! We demand accountability, and we demand it now! I stand before you, ready to take the fight to the highest courts, to expose their deceit and hold them accountable for their actions. I will not rest until justice is served, until every lawyer involved in this obstruction of justice is held in contempt before the eyes of the law. My fellow paralegals, my fellow citizens, the time for action is upon us. Let us unite in our resolve, let us stand firm in our principles, and let us fight until victory is ours. For enough is enough, and justice will prevail. if you like to Make a donation please visit https://gofund.me/c1e94058 #paralegal #paralegals #immigration #accesstojustice #lawyer #lawyers #appeal #factum

SEATTLE STRUGGLES WITH IMMIGRANT CHILDREN'S RIGHT TO LEGAL COUNSEL AMIDST DEPORTATION PROCEEDINGS According to the City of Seattle, these children, often unaccompanied and without the means to afford legal counsel, are thrust into an adversarial legal process tasked with defending their right to remain in the United States. The stakes are incredibly high for these minors, who must stand before an immigration judge and object to the claims of trained government attorneys seeking their deportation. The discrepancy in legal representation is stark: the Vera Institute of Justice reported that more than 90 percent of unrepresented unaccompanied children were issued an order of removal or voluntary departure. Conversely, those benefitting a lawyer's guidance were significantly more likely to remain in the country. The report suggests that access to legal representation could, and does, alter the outcome more than sevenfold for these children, a boon to their chances of life in America. Letting children fend for themselves in high-stakes legal settings seems at odds with Seattle's humanitarian image. As the city endeavors to live up to its welcoming reputation, it asks how it might address the glaring gap in representation.

In a recent Fordham Law Review article, our UnidosUS team members Laura Vazquez and Charles Kamasaki shed light on the growing gap between the need and availability of immigration legal services. While these programs are growing in various states, there is still much work to be done. We call for changes at all levels of to have more representation and justice for our community.

I can not begin to tell you how many videos I post of Kennedy that MYSTERIOUSLY VANISH. Let's see if this one makes it up. If it does... REPOST and amplify his voice!!! Kennedy: You're a professor in California, and you were invited here as an expert by our Democrat colleagues? Expert: Yes Kennedy: According to you, the immigration enforcement system is based on White Supremacy, economic exploitation, and criminalization, and must be dismantled, is that right? Expert: I'm not aware of that statement. Kennedy: Here it is, right on your website. Kennedy: Do you believe our immigration system was built on White Supremacy? Democrat Immigration Expert: No sir. Kennedy: Well you said it. Are you lying here or are you lying to us today? #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Victory for Justice and Humanity Today marks a deeply meaningful moment in my career as a defense attorney. After months of dedicated advocacy, I’m honored to share a case that reminds me why we choose this path – to uphold justice in a way that preserves human dignity. A Mother’s Struggle Against Injustice My client, a 50-year-old European citizen and widowed mother, was wrongfully held in pretrial detention, separated from her teenage daughter. This was all due to a misunderstanding that could have cost her everything. Already carrying the weight of losing one child in a tragic accident, she faced allegations that threatened the stability of her remaining family. The breakthrough came when we demonstrated her true intentions: compassion, not criminal intent. She was simply helping an individual who had already been granted political asylum by Greek authorities. This case underscored a delicate yet crucial balance between enforcing immigration laws and respecting fundamental human rights. Fighting for What’s Right Our success rested on clearly showing: - The legitimate asylum status of the person she helped - My client’s unblemished record - The severe humanitarian impact of continued detention - The profound family implications, especially for her dependent child What resonates most isn’t just the legal victory, but the larger principle it upholds: justice must be tempered with humanity. The court’s decision to release my client is a testament to our legal system’s capacity to recognize the difference between criminal intent and humanitarian compassion. A Reminder to Fellow Advocates Behind every case is a human story. As legal professionals, our greatest achievements often lie not in winning arguments, but in helping the system see the full humanity of those we represent. To my fellow advocates: never underestimate the impact of believing in your client’s story and standing for what’s right, even when the journey is challenging. #CriminalDefense #Justice #HumanRights #LegalVictory #AsylumLaw #Advocacy
