Colorado court rules in favor of immigrants

The US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals declared that a drug conviction should not always lead to deportation of immigrants in Colorado.

Previously, the drug conviction was considered to be in violation of federal law and therefore, a deportation process had to be initiated.

However, Colorado has slightly different statutes than the country’s federal laws regarding drug convictions.

Thus, a Tenth Circuit judge declared that deportation processes for immigrants holding Green Cards could be appealed if they involve a drug conviction in Colorado.

In addition to that, these types of convictions (depending on severity) will not affect immigrants seeking to obtain legal permanent residence in this state.

Hopeful news for immigrants

It is well known that the current government of the US wants to reduce immigration at all costs, both legal and illegal.

Therefore, some of the immigration processes have been modified and the requirements have also increased considerably in recent years.

Adding to that, the unexpected arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic contributed to the Trump administration implementing even more restrictions on the immigration sector of the US.

Multiple immigrant communities have felt the strong impact of the health crisis, as well as the current economic crisis and President Trump’s strict policies.

Therefore, the fact that the Tenth Circuit decides to give immigrants, who carry a Green Card or who wish to apply for legal immigration status in the country, an opportunity to appeal their cases opens a door of hope for them.

In fact, one of the immigration attorneys involved in the case declares that the court’s decision “Not only provides clarity in the law, but it gives us an opportunity to take one step forward toward extracting ourselves from the foolishness of both the drug war and the immigration laws we have.”
