When someone is arrested, they’re read their Miranda Rights and are told if they cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for them. “We tell them that's not the case in immigration court, that if they cannot afford an attorney, you either have to do all by yourself, look for organizations, clinics that will give you a little guidance, or pay thousands of dollars to have someone represent you in court,” said Raymundo Montes, an administrator for Keep Tucson Together.
“The frustrations-- immigration law is a very- it's a grayed-out law. There's not a set stone, you can have the same case go to three different judges and all three different judges will have a different view,” said Montes.
