My husband fled his country to the United States due to political persecution to seek asylum when he was only a minor. His family retained a lawyer, who did not inform him of a court date. He missed his court date and was ordered removed in absentia, according to Immigration law. This lawyer has since been disbarred for ineffective representation of counsel in immigration proceedings.

We got married in Dec. 2010 and I filed a petition for him as my husband. He also filed to adjust his status to become a permanent resident. During our interview, he was held without bond because of the final order of removal against him. He is currently in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Please join me to ask ICE to help review and re-open his case to secure his release and ultimately adjust his status to become a permanent resident.
