Hells Angels Sues Over Visa Denials for Foreign Members

 

via The Blog of the Legal Times

The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club has a history of clashing with law enforcement, but the group is hoping a Washingtonfederal judge will take its side in a new fight over federal immigration law.
In a lawsuit (PDF) filed last week, Hells Angels challenged policies that bar foreign members from traveling to the United States.

Hells Angels describes itself as a club for motorcycle enthusiasts, but it's classified as a criminal organization by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In a lawsuit filed August 16 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Hells Angels claims that the "known criminal organization" designation isn't warranted and that federal officials have a blanket policy of denying visas to foreign members that conflicts with federal immigration laws.
Hells Angels, according to the complaint, has charters in 35 countries, including theUnited States, and clubs in at least four more countries are seeking to join.

  1. The client must take all his documents with him on the first consultation session. The lawyers will inspect all the documents thoroughly. During consultation the client will have to describe his case and the entire situation to the layer in detail. The lawyers will ask a few questions. During this question and answer session the client must clear all his doubts.
