Client was a legal permanent resident, but after multiple criminal convictions, including 4 DWI’s, he was placed in removal proceedings, and the judge refused to grant him a bond. He stayed in detention for over 10 months, while the case was pending. Attorney Furqan demonstrated to the court the hardship his U.S. citizen family would suffer if he were ordered removed back to Mexico. Additionally, evidence of client’s rehabilitation was presented to the court. The cancellation of removal (42-A) application was eventually granted and client was able to rejoin his family.
