Mountain Dreamers “My name is Ismael. I live in Garfield County. I was detained by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. When I was in detention in Aurora without the money for a lawyer. I was forced to represent myself in front of the immigration judge and ask for more time to find representation. By the second time I saw the judge without an attorney, I was scared because he seemed irritated and told me that I needed to find an attorney by my next court date. My wife, after months of calling and calling, finally got a pro bono lawyer to help me. It took another month to bond out.
