The surprise is that this hasn’t happened more, because the whole system is just set up for people to scam all those illegals

WA immigration lawyer who served thousands sued for alleged ‘scheme’

Calling herself a “lawyer of miracles,” Alexandra Lozano built a sprawling Tukwila-based business with five primary locations across the U.S. and back offices in Colombia, Mexico and Argentina.

The business uses what Lozano has described as a novel approach to immigration law. It has served, according to its website, almost 80,000 people and helped thousands obtain work permits and hundreds get green cards. She has also taught her approach to others, in part by authoring several books on running a law business and one on domestic violence against men, due to be published in June.

But a lawsuit filed Monday in the U.S. District Court of Western Washington on behalf of nine former clients says her services were “illusory, negligent, and even fraudulent.”

Thousands, the lawsuit says, have been affected.

The 50-page complaint lodges a barrage of claims against Lozano (also known as Lozano Kennedy after a 2023 separation), her business and other entities believed to be associated with her. The claims include legal malpractice, breach of contract and fiduciary duty, and violation of the Consumer Protection Act. The lawsuit also accuses Lozano and other entities with violating civil racketeering and conspiracy laws.
Among the specific allegations are participating in a “scheme” to file false or fraudulent immigration documents and, in some cases, asking clients to sign blank pieces of paper so the signatures could be attached to documents they hadn’t reviewed.

If any of this is true then the federal government needs to get involved to file criminal charges. And if that happens then she and her associates could be the first of many dominoes to fall. Seriously, the DOJ needs to really hire about 4 times the employees on contract till at least the end of Trump’s term to investigate all the fraud in immigration, learing centers, Medicare, Medicaid, and so much more.

Immigration authorities detain former Kansas mayor who voted illegally

The former mayor of a conservative Kansas town was taken into custody by immigration authorities Wednesday after acknowledging last year that he had voted in elections despite not being a U.S. citizen.

Joe Ceballos, who was born in Mexico and is a legal permanent U.S. resident, was detained during a meeting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Wichita, Kansas, according to his attorney, Jess Hoeme. He said Ceballos now fears he could be deported.

I’m not sure why this is in a local Raleigh news outlet. We’d love some local news gathering instead of pulling AP feeds, but, regardless, weren’t we told that this almost never happens, and then we keep seeing it happen?
