Lawsuit Filed Over Crime Victim Visas
Congress authorized new visas for noncitizens who cooperate with police in investigations of violent crimes. The rationale seems to be that a noncitizen, faced with the risk of deportation, might instead choose to disappear (See Robert Blake story). However, no visas have been issued, and no regulations about how to get one; laawyers have now brought a lawsuit. Story here. [Jack Chin]
