In a recent court session, several individuals faced serious charges, including domestic violence and aggravated assault, with implications for their immigration status.

Abel, charged with assault and domestic violence, a Class A misdemeanor, was informed of his rights and the conditions of his personal bond, set at $1,000. He acknowledged his inability to afford an attorney but expressed understanding of the proceedings.

Pedro Choc was charged with aggravated assault, a second-degree felony, and possession of a controlled substance, a state jail felony. His total bail was set at $21,000. During the proceedings, Choc appeared confused about the implications of his immigration hold, prompting the judge to clarify the situation for him and others present.

The court emphasized the importance of understanding the legal process, particularly for those facing immigration holds, as it could significantly affect their cases. The session highlighted the intersection of criminal charges and immigration issues, raising concerns about the legal rights of those involved.
