Re: Niels W. Frenzen

Niels Frenzen was quoted about the Dept. of Justice's decision to end legal guidance for detained immigrants. "The current program actually makes it easier for judges to hold hearings, particularly with unrepresented immigrants, since the immigrant comes into court having a basic understanding of what their rights are, what forms of relief they may be eligible for, and a basic understanding of the judicial process," explained Frenzen.
