Our attorneys represented the respondent in Matter of E__F__ which commenced
in Immigration Court in Miami; venue was transferred to Orlando. DHS filed
charges seeking our client’s removal for a conviction of a crime
involving a controlled substance and a drug trafficking and illicit trafficking
aggravated felony.
The attorneys successfully argued that the conviction, conspiracy to possess
cocaine with intent to sell, is neither an aggravated felony nor a particularly
serious crime and therefore respondent’s asylum status could not
be terminated. After spirited advocacy, the Immigration Judge agreed and
ordered proceedings terminated.
We anticipate our client’s release from detention at ICE/Baker in
the near term.
