Case Timeline: Immigration and West Frankfort

case timeline: Juan Carlos Hernandez Pacheco's immigration case gained national attention as President Donald Trump's administration clamped down on immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, according to Metro News. Residents of West Frankfort, which solidly voted for Trump, rallied around Pacheco. A Mexican restaurant manager in southern Illinois who doesn't have legal permission to live in the U.S. isn't scheduled for another immigration hearing until 2021 after he posted bond last year. He was released on bond in March after being detained by immigration officials. He's due in court in April 2021. The Carbondale Southern Illinoisan reports that Pacheco's last appearance before an immigration judge was in November to establish a case timeline. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
