New ones every day. At a recent hearing, the ICE attorney (a truly repugnant person) proposed that our client’s asylum application be considered “abandoned” because he hadn’t gotten fingerprinted a second time (nobody told him to) and because he’d forgotten to check one of the boxes on his initial asylum application (filled out with no legal help). Fortunately the judge denied both requests. But still.
