Our firm in the news: ICE wrongfully detains U.S. citizen.

ICE does it again.  They picked up a U.S. citizen.  ICE was informed by client that his parents were U.S. citizens and thus was on notice that he was likely a U.S. citizen, but detained him nonetheless.  Giving credit when credit is due, when our firm contacted ICE with documentation about the derived citizenship, ICE released client in a relatively short period of time.  However this was about 13 days after client was originally detained.

There are a lot of U.S. citizens out there who don't even know about their U.S. citizenship.
