Unauthorized immigrants are in great danger if they go to a courthouse in New York City. The deportation thugs prowl around looking for targets to deport.

When they are defendants, they get worse verdicts and sentences because the usual options offered are impossible for them in immigration prison.

Or they may be witnesses, in which case others are denied justice due to the lack of their testimony.

The nastiest thing is that city thugs seem to be reporting them to the deportation thugs.
