ICE Can Fix This Issue Today

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) is a sub-agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ICE recently announced it is detaining 52,000 immigrants in jails and prisons around the United States. Congress has only appropriated funding to manage a daily average of around 45,000 beds until the end of September 2019. This discrepancy in the number of people in detention and the money allocated to appropriately detain them resulted in DHS taking funds away from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Coast Guard, among other agencies, and reallocating the funds to ICE’s detention efforts.

Marriage Green Cards

Posted by chhabragibbs

in Blog, Immigration, Marshall Goff

It seems like everyone I know is getting married these days. Wedding bells are ringing for couples all across the United States. My wife and I even got in on the madness when we were married last year. The wedding planning, registering for showers, and picking out invitations is enough stress for anyone. Some couples have even more pressure added to their lives because one of the spouses is not a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) or United States Citizen. This little wrinkle should not add more stress for anyone who is planning a marriage or those who already tied the...

Posted by chhabragibbs

in Blog, Juul Lawsuits

Smoking e-cigarettes has greatly spiked in popularity in the past few years and it is negatively impacting the youth in United States of America.

The same time that users of this product are believing this information, they are also not being properly warned about the true dangers of nicotine addiction and related diseases. They must be held accountable. Just recently...

in Blog, Immigration

Parole had already been submitted and denied twice, and the Deportation Officer didn’t appear likely to consider parole again for this client. Through persistence, the Deportation Officer agreed to consider parole for a third time, but warned if it was not filed perfectly, he would not agree to run it by the chain of command necessary to get the parole approved. A parole packet with all the necessary documentation was submitted. We didn’t...
