Petrona grew up in a rural part of Guatemala and was severely neglected during her early years. She was abducted at age 11 in her country by a relative, who forced her into drug and labor trafficking. He threatened to kill her or her mother if she refused his demands. Specifically, he had her use, harvest, and deliver drugs for him. Petrona was enslaved by him for about three years. He then forced her to come to the US in late 2018, ultimately landing in Virginia, where he had her cook and clean for him and continued to threaten her. You will notice that her last name is incorrect on her documents: that is because her trafficker forged her last name at the border (so that it would match his). He posed as her father to border officials (thinking that a father-child would be more likely to receive permission to enter). He ultimately abandoned her on the street on a frigid January night in 2019. Due to the extreme trauma she has endured, she is eligible for several benefits: T Visa, asylum, and SIJS. I have already submitted an asylum application and she interviews with Arlington AO at the end of this month (she is also in removal proceedings). She is indigenous and only spoke indigenous languages before coming to the US. She never attended school before coming to the US. She is nearly proficient in Spanish after learning it from relatives in this country (after only several months of practice)! Many expenses have arisen out of this case because Petrona has been through so much in such a short time, so financial assistance (for transportation to appointments, mental health care, continued legal services, evidence collection, etc.) would be much appreciated. | I agree | thumbnail_IMG_1775.jpg | thumbnail_IMG_1778.jpg |

I am presenting a detained Honduran man, Mr. C-C, on a pro bono basis. Mr. C-C has an ICH before the LaSalle Immigration Court in Louisiana on May 7, 2019. During this hearing, he will testify to his claims of asylum, withholding, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. Mr. C-C and his family were threatened by a powerful criminal group in San Pedro Sula called Los Tacamicheros/Los Aguacates because (1) he refused to sell drugs for them, (2) he reported them to the authorities, and (3) because of his family ties. Prior to targeting Mr. C-C to sell drugs, this same criminal group tortured and killed Mr. C-C’s sister-in-law. After Mr. C-C and his wife filed a report with the authorities for the torture and death of his sister-in-law, the criminal group started targeting him. His wife and children entered the U.S. before him and were released from detention. Mr. C-C- has been in detention since December 2018. He passed his CFI, but was denied bond because he was charged as an arriving alien. ICE denied him parole twice. The first time they denied him parole, the ICE officer gave an absolute ridiculous analysis basically saying “Denied because he should have applied for a visa at the Honduran consulate.” We responded to that directing the officer to the law and asking for a reconsideration of the parole request. Then, ICE denied him parole for allegedly being a flight risk due to “lack of community ties.” Although we are providing them with pro bono services, the family needs money to pay for the translation and mailing fees, and also transportation fees so that his wife can testify in support of her husband (needs to travel from Nebraska to Louisiana). Your help is greatly appreciated to save a family of 5.Thank you, Liana | I agree | Castro Castillo, Roberto - Pro bono engagement letter.pdf | Castro Castillo, Roberto - ICH Notice 05.07.19.pdf |

Josue’s step-father forced him to work at a restaurant so that Josue could provide for himself and to pay down his debts. Josue’s step-father demanded that he pay rent and for his necessities; therefore, forcing Josue to find employment as a minor. Josue was forced to work over 60 hours a week at a local restaurant. He was paid very little for the work he performed. His step-father took most his earnings leaving Josue with barely anything to survive. Josue felt like he could not leave the situation or refuse to work. As a result of the vitimization, Josue became homeless.

The same day, undersigned counsel filed an I-246, Stay of Removal, with DHS in Phoenix. On November 4, 2016, DHS granted his Stay of Removal for ninety (90) days to allow client to file a Motion to Reopen his Removal Proceedings based on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel (IAC). The I-213 filed in this case corroborates this assertion: “the stay was approved . . . due to evidence that the [sic] Client’s previous attorney was suspended by the AZ Bar Association and the likelihood of an MTR [Motion to Reopen] being approved for this case.” Despite acknowledging the possible ineffectiveness of counsel, the Department nevertheless detained Client because “he breeched his bond and depart as ordered by the court.” As such, he was transferred to the Eloy Detention Center where he is presently detained. Undersigned counsel filed for a bond hearing but the bond was denied due to "no jurisdiction." Undersigned counsel is also representing client in his appeal to the BIA in regards to his motion to reopen based on ineffective assistance of counsel. | I agree | SPANISH Services Agreement(1).pdf | 012017 Notice of No Jurisdiction.pdf |

He is subject to a final order of removal and also reinstatement of removal as he reentered subsequent to his deportation. He was under an order of supervision where she was reporting yearly for the last five years. When he showed up for supervision in November 2016, he was apprehended and treated very badly by the officers. He has successfully completed the reasonable fear interview and the case was referred to the immigration judge for "withholding only" proceedings. His individual hearing is coming up at on March 20, 2017. We have had two master calendar hearings. The judge refuses to even entertain a bond hearing because of the final order. Efforts to negotiate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for his release have been futile. He has a viable claim for withholding because one of his brothers who was a major drug dealer in Honduras was arrested and recently extradited to the United States by the DEA. His brother has never been in the US. However, many of the drug-related transactions had ties to New York, Venezuela, Haiti and Honduras. Upon extradition by the DEA, people associated with the brother have since killed two of my client's brothers to show the family what would happen to all of them if the extradited brother were to release any information about their activities. The retainer agreement is attached and describes all the different services that have been or will be provided and the cost associated with each service. Unfortunately, the family has been unable to comply with the payments as the main provider for the family is in detention and has been since November 2016. Of the total amounts owed, the family has only been able to pay the first visit to the detention facility. Receipt is attached. Many hours have been dedicated to the preparation and filing of the withholding only application as well as visits to the client and hearings before the immigration court. The last push will be this week in preparation for the individual hearing on March 20, 2017. The $500.00 payment received thus far is far less than $100 per hour compared to the number of hours dedicated to the matter thus far. | I agree | Fee Agreement and Payment Receipt.pdf | Custody Determination.pdf |
