Re: ninth circuit-immigration appeal, criminal deportation

More | Report Post

The circumstances as you portray them are grim. You may try to
continue your 9th circuit appeal so that you may push the bar of
time that he is held by the feds, over the time frame for the
indefinite detention rule. Except in the most extreme cases, and
that is contingent upon the district director-- and ultimately the
9th circuits-- criteria, he can not be held for longer than six
months if his appeal is ongoing. Also, there is a custody review
that takes place after the first 90 days... so good luck there.
you can keep appealing to buy time, though your luck will run out
at some point unless you can succeed in attacking the convictions.
