Rottanak Kong got lucky: His family found a lawyer. Most immigrants facing deportation get no legal help but might be able to resolve their cases if they did.
Immigration law is complicated and constantly changing. Non-citizens facing deportation can’t get relief unless they apply — and most don’t have access to a lawyer.
The stakes are huge. Deportation separates families and may be life-threatening to those who fled violence or persecution in their home country. Yet few immigrants get relief without counsel.
