He traveled for years trying to seek safety until he finally arrived in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his family living in D.C., Gregory was detained in Pennsylvania. He tried to fight his case on his own without a lawyer but experienced egregious due process violations from the Immigration Judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amica Center attorneys, Lorna Julien and Aimee Mayer-Salins, met Gregory and represented him on his appeal. Gregory was so excited to have an attorney and to no longer have to take on this fight alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gregory, Lorna, and Aimee worked together to demonstrate that the Immigration Judge failed to do their duty in Gregory\u2019s case. After a year in detention, he was finally released!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to volunteers from Grannies Respond and Casa San Jose, we were able to coordinate Gregory\u2019s safe journey home to his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His case will now go back to the Immigration Judge, where he will have another chance to defend his right to protection. Thanks to Mayor Bowser and DC Mayor&#8217;s Office on Latino Affairs, Amica Center will continue to walk alongside Gregory in his case!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4293,"template":"","story_category":[71],"class_list":["post-4216","story","type-story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","story_category-client-story","bg-white -mt-px py-full"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amicacenter.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story\/4216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amicacenter.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amicacenter.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/story"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amicacenter.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amicacenter.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"story_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amicacenter.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story_category?post=4216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
