In this episode of Criminal INjustice, Trial Attorney Casey Krizman interviews Immigration Attorney Andrew Younkins. They cover a lot of ground, including what people concerned about getting caught in the ICE dragnet should do.
Key point: Immigrants who have attorneys are many times more likely to win their right to stay in the country and to be released from ICE prison. Unfortunately, very few people caught in the ICE dragnet have access to lawyers and often spend months in ICE prison waiting for their day in immigration court.
People concerned about the issue of immigrant rights may donate money or time to these organizations:
Colorado Immigrant Justice Fund, a pool of donated money used to pay for legal representation for immigrants.
Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network, which provides low-cost or no-cost legal representation to immigrants.
Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, a umbrella organization for groups working on immigrant rights across the state. They also provide training and preparedness documents.
People concerned about getting stopped by authorities and questioned about immigrant status should carry a “Red Card / Tarjetas Rojas,” which lists what to do and your rights in these situations. The card is available several places online, including here.
Andrew Younkins can be reached at 720-310-5162, 14261 E. Fourth Ave., Suite 6-307, aly-law.com.
