Protecting Your Rights -- Understanding the Patriot Act
Under the provisions of the Patriot Act and its revisions to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), foreigners and immigrants are now more vulnerable than ever to monitoring and surveillance. Understanding how your rights in a criminal investigation impact your immigration status is essential when the actions of associates or family members wrongly incriminate you. For instance, illegal drug activity or prostitution conducted from your apartment by friends or family members could result in your being charged as well.
As aggravated felony and immigration lawyers, we're prepared to defend your immigration status by leveraging your innocence in light of questionable police conduct or the over-extension of an investigation.
Before Talking to Police Contact Tahir Mella Today
It's crucial to protect your rights in dealing with the police or law enforcement in a criminal investigation. Often, immigrants unfamiliar with the court system and afraid for their status, admit to having done something after police assure them "telling the truth" will make things easier for them. As your immigration attorneys, we defend you against self-incrimination, advising you how to position your case and defend your status.
