Immigration detention creates significant barriers to legal defense by hindering attorney-client communication and preventing meaningful preparation of asylum applications.

“it basically is like saying, "Fine, we're going to let you play basketball, but you can't use your left arm or your right leg. Good luck to you. See if you can win this match against uh Shaquille O'Neal or something like that." That's basically what happens if you're in immigration detention.”

While the US must have mechanisms for border and immigration enforcement, the current approach by ICE is characterized by cruelty and lacks proper oversight.

“I think ICE needs tremendous oversight. It needs new leadership from at the at all levels new guidance and all of the above. I think you know it it does not have to be like this. We can enforce our laws.”

The U.S. government has a moral and constitutional obligation to provide due process to immigrants like Andry Hernández Romero rather than subjecting them to arbitrary deportation.

“So, in this case, the Supreme Court did something that I think is just. Again, the word temporary is in the freaking thing, right? Temporary.”
