Immigration lawyer sees clients taken away during hearings

William Menard says the scale and types of arrests currently taking place under the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown are unprecedented. An immigration lawyer of 12 years, Menard said he was surprised to see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting people who are attending immigration hearings and “just trying to do things the right way.” In San Diego this past week, a Norwegian woman who is married to a U.S. citizen was taken into custody for a visa overstay. About a week later, she was granted bond. Menard was a guest on Border Report Live on Tuesday. He outlined the rules for people with brief visa overstays and what it means for close relatives of U.S. citizens, including spouses and children.
