Jennifer Behm, Esq., partner at Berardi Immigration Law, was featured on WIVB Channel 4 News providing critical context and legal insight following ICE raids that took place in Buffalo’s Elmwood Village on Thursday morning.
The segment covered the arrest of four individuals taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement near Elmwood Avenue. ICE stated that the arrests were part of an ongoing investigation and alleged that the individuals attempted to evade officers, a claim that has drawn significant public attention and sparked protests in the neighborhood.
Witnesses described the scene as disturbing, and local organizations expressed concern about the sudden enforcement activity. To help viewers understand the legal implications and what comes next for the detained men, Channel 4 interviewed Jennifer Behm, who outlined the complex road ahead for anyone taken into immigration custody.
“Are they going to be placed in removal proceedings or are they going to be released? Do they have eligibility for any sort of relief, like asylum or protections?” Behm explained. “That’s going to go through a very long court process, lots of nuances and complexities there.”
Behm’s appearance underscores Berardi Immigration Law’s ongoing commitment to offering trusted guidance during moments of uncertainty. As enforcement actions continue to make headlines nationally and locally, our team remains dedicated to helping individuals, families, and employers understand their rights, their options, and the legal processes ahead.
