 Maryland Lawmakers Consider Guaranteeing Lawyers For Immigrants Facing Deportation

Cristobal Gomez was in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, detention center in Frederick County for a month and 18 days before a lawyer took on his case.

“Without a lawyer, they don’t tell you anything,” he said through an interpreter.

Immigration agents kept trying to get him to sign a form agreeing to be deported, Gomez said. “I told them I didn’t want to, that I couldn’t leave my family. But they would only talk to me about deportation.”

Gomez is originally from Honduras but has been in the United States for 17 years.
