I wasn't sure where post this but if someone could please give me insight or any help it would be much appreciated.
My best friend moved here when he was 16 from Iran in 2005. He had a student VISA I believe and has been going to school. A couple of months ago Barack Obama was in my town and my friends wallet showed up on his campaign trail. The other day the FBI called me and wanted to meet with me regarding this issue. They said they needed to interview my friend as they have to investigate all matters like this regarding the president. After interviewing my friend and finding all was ok they found out his passport or visa was out of status. My friend has never done anything wrong and is the best friend ive ever had. Now he is sitting in a jail about an hour away from me with convected criminals. I feel helpless and have no clue what to do or what will happen. He has been in jail since last wednesday and says they haven't told him any information regarding his case. His parents live in Iran and I have tried to contact them but have not heard back. I believe they are well off and can hopefully send money if needed. My friend doesn't deserve to be in a jail like that. What can I do? Should I get a lawyer what are the options for a case like this?
