Hundreds of people in South Florida, and thousands across the country, have received fake immigration court dates issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services hrld.us/30sRBsa
“People have been ordered to appear on national holidays, on weekends and even at midnight — when we all know immigration court isn’t operating,” said an attorney and board member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association hrld.us/2M1nUZY
“It’s creating chaos, inside the courthouse and out. People are showing up to court and discovering that their date was fake, and clerks are being overwhelmed by the masses who aren’t even supposed to be there,” said another immigration attorney. hrld.us/2M1nUZY
“It’s basically a ploy to disqualify people from certain immigration relief in court, and perhaps even to spark waves of fear and anxiety.” hrld.us/2M1nUZY
