A Foreign Company Found Clients For Immigration Law Firm Specializing In Deportation Defense

A Colombian company worked on behalf of a U.S. immigration law firm offering deportation defense, identifying prospective clients as the firm targeted illegal immigrants with its marketing, according to a newly discovered lawsuit.

The 2023 lawsuit reveals how entities both inside and outside of the United States continue to profit from America’s mass illegal immigration crisis. The Colombian company explained that it was tasked with “the identification of Spanish-speaking individuals confronting immigration problems” on behalf of the law firm.

The data gathered by the Colombian company and intended for the use by the law firm was improperly obtained by a competing law firm that also provides deportation defense and other legal services to illegal immigrants, according to the lawsuit.

The Colombian company Professional Consulting Services was hired to gather all relevant data. The Colombian company’s software enables it “to collect and organize the personal information of potential Spanish-speaking individuals who may need assistance with immigration matters,” the lawsuit states.

Professional Consulting Services then provided this information to the South Carolina-based law firm, Inmigracion al Dia, which explicitly assists illegal aliens, stating on its website that they are a “team of attorneys with experience in immigration proceedings representing thousands of Hispanics in the United States.”

“It doesn’t matter how you got here,” the law firm says on its website in Spanish. “We evaluate your options for legalizing your immigration status in the United States and help you find a path to enjoying the benefits of legal status.”

The company offers deportation defense services and assists those who want to apply for an immigration forgiveness waiver, which the firm describes as “a legal process that serves as a lifeline for people who are illegally in the United States, violating immigration laws.”

Inmigracion al Dia promises to help its clients “live and work legally in the United States indefinitely.”

The leads generated by Professional Consulting Services on behalf of Inmigracion al Dia are alleged to have been improperly used by yet another U.S.-based law firm that specializes in serving illegal aliens. That firm, called Inmigracion OK, also courts illegal aliens and promises to help them remain in the United States.

Inmigracion OK advertises directly to illegal aliens on Facebook, where it spent more than $140,000 in 90 days from mid-May to mid-August.

“Are you undocumented in the United States? We could help you understand the process of obtaining papers. No matter how you arrived in this country, we can help you,” reads one of the law firm’s advertisements, which were originally posted in Spanish. “Having legal immigration status in the United States and a better life is possible.”

“Are you in New York undocumented? We can guide you on how to obtain your work permit,” one ad says. “Are you in the United States without regular immigration status?” yet another ad asks.

One member of the law firm, Oscar Barbosa, has an office with another law firm called Diaspora Law, the lawsuit claims. Also based in New Jersey, Diaspora Law “specializes in family immigration, business immigration and deportation defense.”

“We are immigrants too. Diaspora Law is passionate about helping immigrants because we all have a deep connection to the cause,” the firm’s site says, also adding that it works “with local organizations to advocate for fair changes in immigration law.”

Neither Inmigracion al Dia nor Inmigracion OK responded to a request for comment.
