Detained Client Granted Cancellation of Removal

I won a case in immigration court today.  My client had two misdemeanor convictions for criminal possession of a controlled substance.  After two hours of testimony, she was granted cancellation of removal by an immigration judge.   Cancellation of removal is a form of relief from deportation for lawful permanent residents with criminal history.  Because of her convictions, my client had been detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for four months because her convictions subjected her to mandatory detention.  Today, she is home with her family where she belongs.
