Luck of the Draw
A detainee received the judge's decision to deport him today. He htought he was going to win his case since his case wasn't too serious. However, the judge didn't give him a chance. He'll appeal the decision.
I found out that he has the same judge as I do along with two other detainees. In all our cases, the judge didn't make his decision at the end of our hearings. He preferred to give a written decision. All of us lost our cases & have decided to appeal.
According to a survey reported by the S.F. Chronicle, our judge has denied most of the cases that went in front of him in the past five years. But another judge granted relief to most of the cases that she'd presided on. Based on the report, it shows that the judges have no uniformity in decided their cases. For detainees who are seeking relief, it's all luck of the draw to see which judge they'll get.
Where is the fairness in the immigration system?
