Well, that was unexpected.

  Boyfriend had been arrested in 2012 for his fifth-offense, felony DUI.  At that time, I learned that Immigration & Customs Enforcement(ICE) has a detainee search option on their website to see if they have someone in custody; you can also get their case status information by calling the court's toll-free number.   Boyfriend was supposed to have his final hearing next month in the immigration court.  A few months ago, they rescheduled his date until 2019.  It seems kind of bizarre to drag it out this long but really, it's good for both parties.  It's good for the immigrant because they can show that they're paying debts and staying out of legal trouble, which means it would be harder to deport them; it's good for ICE because if the immigrant fails to stay out of trouble, it solidifies their case and would support the judge's ruling for deportation.   The other day, there was a news article about a multi-state immigration sweep that had just co...
