Had my meeting with the immigration attorney [View all]

[gopiscrap]

First off, I want to thank everyone for their kind expressions of support and encouragement.

I just got done with meeting with the immigration attorney that I have. It was a good meeting. Most of it dealt with paperwork etc. He wants me to have about 2500.00 available in case I need bail. I need several copies of my Citizenship certificate. He wants me to have copies of my Alien Registration card and also my green card that I had before citizenship. He wants me to make sure that I have copies made for both my kids so in case something happens they have quick acess to documents. He gave me a card that I can put in my wallet to call the Nortwest Immigrant Rights Project, also the ACLU (of which I am a member) he said that if I go protest, I need to stay in the middle of a pack of people so I can't just be grabbed.

He said he would prefer that I don't protest, but said if I must, to be very careful. I told him that it is not in my dna to sit passively when there is such injustice. My faith will not let be silent, I also wish to be on the right side of history. Then there is being able to tell my grand children that I did what I could.

The attorney said that I am at heightened risk because of previously being put on the no fly list twice and also being charged with inciting a riot when George Bush the first came to Tacoma and we arranged a "welcome" for him that forced him to leave town 17 minutes early. The third reason I am at risk is because I have had the trump administration take me to court and challeng my citizenship. (Which I won the last time and was awarded attorney fees.)

The final thing he said to me is to make sure my neighbors, co-workers and specially my church community to know what's up.

So friends thank you s much for your support. I will keep you posted on any future developments.

Together we make "Good trouble" and stand up for our neighbors and those who have no voice.

Peace
