I sought to protect an immigrant legal client. Instead, I’m facing Trump’s new sanctions

An attorney has become the first target of a controversial scheme initiated by the Trump administration, which aims to accuse lawyers of unethical conduct for defending immigrant clients. This situation arose when the attorney took on a pro bono case to help a woman whose husband was facing imminent deportation to Laos. The case highlights the challenges faced by legal professionals who strive to protect vulnerable individuals in the face of aggressive government actions. It raises important questions about the ethics of legal representation and the treatment of immigrants in the U.S.
