My Canadian sister has been living "off grid" in the US for 10 years. She was comming home to Canada for Christmas and borrowed a friends car. She was pulled over for speeding, Since she was in the process of moving she had all of her belongings in the car, lots of cash and less than an ounce of weed. She was arrested and put in jail in Oregon. then Released with a Jan 3 2011 court dateand given an immigration hold and is currently in The Northwest Detention Centre in Washington. She has a date to meet a judgy there but not until Jan 10 2011 ~ What will happen when she missed the Civil date of Jan 3rd? She is ok with deportation but is worried about leaving the civil charges un-done so to speak.. Any advice ? Thanks
 
She needs to work with the detention center authorities about that. She should have a free public defender at the very least that can help her.
 
Thank you. I will let her know. She is concered that she wont get to see the public devender before the Jan 3rd date arrives. She says it is very busy and crowded and the public devenders are only available for a couple of hours once a week. with 1300 people needing them,
