Client was detained at home by Immigration based on an old conviction for possession of a controlled substance for sale and placed in removal proceedings. While in proceedings, our office was able to reduce Client’s sentence to possession only (pursuant to section 1473.7 of the California Penal Code), with no drug identified, and as a result, his removal proceedings were terminated and he was released from the Adelanto Detention Facility. Client was able to keep his green card/permanent residency and return home to his US Citizen family members.
