Now offering new service, Water Damage Restoration!

With all the rain we’ve had here in the area, our office basement had upwards of a foot of standing water. We couldn’t get anyone out here to pump it out for several more days, so in between meetings I’ve been down there with the shop vac. (Dozens of trips up the steps with a full vac of water…my back is not happy).

Think these new headshots will go on the website.

In times like these, we celebrate wins where we can. Over the past several months, the DHS has instructed immigration court judges that they lacked jurisdiction to issue immigration bonds to certain detained individuals, regardless of whether or not a detainee had any criminal history. This DHS directive is based on a bizarre interpretation of the law. This directive is designed to keep detainees in custody indefinitely, or until they themselves ask for their own deportation. The only remedy available for us is to file a Habeas Corpus action in the US Federal District Courts. Federal judges across the nation find DHS's new stance on jurisdiction to be bogus, for lack of a better word. So here we are. Habeas granted. The fight isn't over, but this husband and father to (3) hopefully will be freed soon.

"Luca Fagundes, a Green Bay-area immigration attorney, says ICE operating in courthouses is the “easy road” for rounding up immigrants because people have little choice to avoid a court date — even if the crime is as simple as driving without a license, which immigrants without legal authorization to live in the country are unable to obtain in Wisconsin."

ICE arrests have increased in Wisconsin by about 20% this year, lagging behind the state's Midwest neighbors.

Given recent ICE operations nationwide, I am recommending that everyone should carry with them evidence that you have been present in the United States for at least the past 2 years. If a person cannot show evidence of physical presence in the United States for the past 2 years, ICE may decide to detain that individual. This evidence could be: tax returns, birth certificate of your children, a marriage certificate, check stubs, bank statements, and any other documents that show your name and a date.
