Client had been placed in removal following his completion of probation on a stalking charge but no bond had been set for his release. Our attorneys quickly filed an emergency motion, arguing that “stalking” is not a crime of moral turpitude which would require mandatory detention, that the client has no history of violent crimes, had close family ties to the U.S. and had relief in immigration court. The judge granted our request and reasonable bond was set for our client’s release.
