Immigration court is not criminal court, and that distinction can significantly affect your case.
Although a person may hire an attorney for immigration proceedings, the government generally does not appoint or pay for one. In this episode of The Climb, immigration attorney José Gallegos explains why people should not assume that the same protections and procedures available in criminal court automatically apply in immigration court.
Knowing the difference can help you ask better questions and seek appropriate legal guidance.
