In June 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark 8-1 decision in Pereira v Sessions holding that a Notice to Appear (NTA) in Immigration Court which does not state the date and time of the hearing is a defective Notice to Appear and does not give the Immigration Court jurisdiction over a case.
The government has failed to include the date and time in over 90% of the NTAs that it has issued over the past 20 years. Thus, the Pereira decision could void hundreds of thousands of existing and completed removal proceedings.
This would be a disaster for an Administration which is intent on deporting as many people as possible.

How to stop deportation
A friend of mine has been in this country for 29 years. He was arrested 2 weeks ago and they are trying to send him back to his home country for something that he did over 30 yrs ago. He tried to get his friend in illegally and they got caught. He did his time upstate for a couple of weeks and they released him. Now 29 yrs later, they come to his house and arrest him and now it looks like he's going back to his home country. They ended up reopening the case and to make it worse, instead of filing his money that was in his pocket at the time of arrest 29 yrs ago as personal belongings , $140.00, they put it as he was smuggling for a profit in which he wasn't. Mind you, he has a family (wife and kids), he's has a steady job and he never got into trouble with the law. He pays taxes like everyone else and he is close to retiring and collecting his social security. Is there a way to help him?
