YLR -- What challenges do non-citizens face today?

  This week, June 5, 2019, we discuss that part of the world where criminal law and immigration law intersect. In particular, what challenges do non-citizens face today? Especially as they may be burdened with very old or minor criminal infraction(s), which they had been led to believe were insignificant or petty criminal offenses, what can be done to help these folks -- they who have lived alongside us for many years, raising families in good faith -- must they now face losing everything? YLR Host Jeff Hayden welcomes Adam Gasner, Certified Criminal Law Specialist, and Marla Samora, Van Der Hout LLP, who practices immigration law, both from San Francisco.
