Volunteer lawyer Daniel Suitor, not an expert in immigration law, has managed to release 19 detained immigrants from ICE custody in about two months. His seat-of-the-pants efforts have led him to file petitions that result in successful releases, encouraging fellow lawyers to follow suit.
Suitor has been able to release more than 20 immigrants by filing release petitions and challenging the legality of many ICE operations. Volunteer lawyers around the country are taking similar actions, challenging detentions in court successfully.
Regarding his work, Suitor says, ‘If I can do it, so can you.’ His efforts are part of a broader legal movement that aims to defend individual rights and the rule of law.
