FYI people subjected to deportation proceedings do not qualify for public defenders because immigration law violations only carry civil penalties. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel only applies to criminal court proceedings, which are totally different. https://t.co/AcpVvOUq66

The other half of the problem is that their ignorance is deliberate.
