Showdown First Circuit Court of Appeals-Houston (Our Tribute to Joan of Arc)
Stop the Magnet ^ | September 30,2014 | Liz Theiss

Posted on 09/30/2014 5:33:11 PM PDT by magna carta

On Friday, September 26,2014 a luncheon was scheduled at the First Circuit Court of Appeals. It was a meeting arranged by Judge Michael Massengale and the Activist Catholic Charities helping to arrange relief for Unaccompanied Minors crossing the borders in droves and explain their vulnerabilities as they encounter our legal system. The goal here, in brief, is to get the word out to the legal community to provide "pro-bono" assistance and train these attorneys to understand the various statuses in refugee,asylum,traffficking law. The powerpoint presentation (http://www.stopthemagnet.com/blog/elected-officials-learn-legal-loopholes-keep-uacs-place) is full of legal sleight of hand in prepping lawyers to help get these minors processed into state juvenile court under Texas Juvenile laws. The needed ruling from a judge is the "Best Interest Ruling" that relies on low standards of evidence to make the case that the child has a dysfunctional homelife in their native country. From there they can obtain a more permanent status. Stop the Magnet decided to publicly object to these efforts right at the source. Attachments from meeting included at the bottom.

I would suggest that those Progressive lawyers quit whatever ambulance chaser, social security expediter, 1-800-BAD-(something) law firm they are working for and immediately devote themselves to full time pro-bono work for the illegal chillens.

My insider said the crux here is that they are trying to funnel them through TX State courts before they turn 18. Right now all they can offer them is CLE-4 hour credits. Funding now moving fast enough there are 700 in Houston they are trying to get legal help for.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the post you can check out the handouts they gave.
