Mr. Emmanuel D, a journalist from Jos, had fled Nigeria after threats to his life. His initial asylum application was mishandled—missing key affidavits and lacking country condition evidence. He was placed in removal proceedings.
JMDL stepped in with urgency. Our attorneys reconstructed his case, gathered expert testimony, and submitted a compelling brief supported by human rights documentation. We also prepared him thoroughly for his EOIR hearing.
The judge granted asylum. Emmanuel now lives safely in Chicago and says, “JMDL didn’t just represent me—they understood me.”
