Hi All. This is an increasing problem I have encountered with every undocumented client I represent. They are in fear of being arrested by ICE. In one of my cases, my client, who was prepared to enter a plea in superior court could not because ICE showed up at his house. He did not leave his home since he overheard them say they were searching for him, while another ICE office was overheard saying that my client was expected in court that morning. Needless to say, this caused much stress and a bench warrant for my client. I am concerned because the ICE officers had all the intel on my client, his court case and that I was his attorney. I questioned criminal case management about how this occurred and they had no answer. The local prosecutor's office were "apparently" just as baffled that this had occurred.
Yesterday, a client on a revocation hearing was detained because the judge feared if my client were released, that ICE would deport him and his case remain unresolved since his sentence date is in January.
