OFF THE PRESS

Rather than traveling over immigration's well-worn legal and political terrain, the new American Bar Association release, "Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door," tells stories tales of children kidnapped to foreign countries in bitter divorce battles, families all but destroyed by the attack on the World Trade Center, a hero's shabby treatment after standing up to terrorism and a young DACA recipient becoming the target of a hate attack.

"Safe Haven" presents the human face of immigration, covering cases that are as fascinating as they are controversial. The case histories read more like espionage thrillers, populated with KGB agents, nuclear whistle-blowers and even accused terrorists fighting for their lives as well as legal standing in the United States.

Whether it's about the long-term impact of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on immigration policy or the latest twist in separating migrant children from their asylum-seeking parents at the border, author Michael Wildes' opinion has been sought by a range of news organizations, from Fox News to CNN. He speaks with the hard-won experience of more than a quarter-century on the front lines of immigration, as an attorney and as managing partner of Wildes & Weinberg, the premier immigration law practice in the country.

"Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door" costs $34.95 and can be ordered by calling 800-285-2221 or online at shopaba.org.
