Our client, a citizen of Jordan, had entered the U.S. when he was just 13. He had a conviction for Simple Possession of Marijuana and a deportation order. Now 25, he was detained by immigration officials and set to be removed from the U.S. Attorney Furqan filed a Stay of Removal with the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), and presented a copy of the DACA application and fees that he intended to file with USCIS. Client, who was scheduled to be removed the next day via plane, was released from detention by ICE, and the DACA application was filed.
