Apparently this may come to pass.
I have a client who had a traffic ticket. He was given a fine by the Court and told to pay it by a certain date. On that date, he asked for an extension. On the extension date, he asked for another extension. On the date of the extension’s extension, he did not bring the money to pay his fine. The Judge, clearly upset, took him into custody and set bail at $25,000.
When we contacted the Los Angeles County Jail to get the bail information, they informed us there was an INS hold on him. I contacted the family and found out that he was having issues with his visa. He already had an attorney and had a hearing date set for a few weeks down the road.
He now sits in the County Jail, unable to make bail, waiting to see if he gets deported. Strange, but true.
