Lawyers, plural. She had two different lawyers who both fucked her over.
Incompetent shyster #1:
She took a plea deal and served 2 1/2 years in prison. She said her attorney incorrectly told her the plea deal would not affect her immigration status as a green card holder. But her legal permanent residency was revoked.
Incompetent shyster #2:
At the end of her sentence, Yang was transferred to an ICE detention facility in Minnesota. There, at the advice of another attorney, she signed a document agreeing that a deportation order would be entered against her in exchange for being released from detention.
Despite agreeing to be deported, she and her attorney believed it wouldn’t happen, since only a small handful of people are deported to Laos each year, if any, and Laos typically has refused to accept U.S. deportees.
Yeah, that second lawyer took one hell of a gamble. I see where they were coming from, but those are extremely risky dice to roll… And now their client is in more trouble than ever… Critical failure.
And the first lawyer… I have nothing to say, what a dumbass.
