A judge has overturned the convictions of 4 border activists in Arizona
Posted on February 20, 2020 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney
4 border aid activists were arrested and convicted after they left food and water in the desert that served as a wildlife refuge for undocumented immigrants. The 4 women faced up to 6 months in prison and a $500 fine. Last week, a U.S. District Judge overturned their convictions, ruling that the government was restricting the women’s religious beliefs when it arrested them for providing aid.

Most Latinos in America worry that the census will be used against them.
Posted on February 20, 2020 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney
A survey found that 8 out of 10 Latinos also recognized the benefits of increased participation in the census. Despite this, a new poll found that about ¾ of Latinos are concerned that information gathered in the census will be used against them. Some of the concern comes from the confusion about the citizenship question: many do not know that the question will not be on the census, and none of the census advertising clarifies this.

A judge ordered an immigration detention hotline to be restored.
Posted on February 20, 2020 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney
In August 2019, a hotline run by the nonprofit Freedom for Immigrants was shut down shortly after it was featured in the Netflix show Orange is the New Black. The hotline was one on a list of calls detainees could make for free and without being monitored. ICE had said the hotline was shut down because the nonprofit used the line to have 3-way calls with detainees and their families, which was prohibited. On February 11, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction and ordered the government to reinstate the hotline. It is unclear what the timeline for the restoration will be.
