Skander R., facing removal from the United States to Pakistan, won a successful
deportation trial in which the immigration judge granted him a green card in August. The trial lasted well into the evening, and the Immigration Judge had to cancel a speaking engagement at a local Memphis immigration conference.  The case had been hotly contested by Department of Homeland Security attorneys for over 20 years, down to the final closing arguments, objecting to granting Skander a green card, demanding his deportation instead.

Christopher Helt had reopened the case, removing a previous deportation order in Los Angeles, then transferred venue to Memphis, TN.  Mr. Helt was the lead counsel of record handing the final trial, including the federal mandamus suit brought previously at the Memphis federal district court.  After an over 20-year-battle fighting to remain in America is over.  Congratulations to Skander and his lovely family. 

 

Christopher Helt, Esq. who is also an adjunct faculty member at Loyola University, gave an informative lecture to Islamic Studies undergraduate students at Loyola University of Chicago's New Cuneo Hall on December 7, 2012.  His lecture was entitled, "Domestic Terrorism, Immigration and Devon Avenue."

Mr. Helt discussed the attitudes of the general public surrounding US immigration and domestic terrorism since 9/11, its links -- if any -- and contemporary theories on the true root causes of terrorism in society.  Dr. Kim Searcy, Phd. professor of Islamic Studies at Loyola, said: "Mr. Helt's lecture offered new and refreshing insights on the often unfair stigma that many our immigrants in the Devon community face when terror strikes, inside or outside the United States."
