Q: Will the Feds give you back your greencard after doing jail time for money laundering?

An immigrant I know got her greencard confiscated by the Feds in NYC for money laundering, drug related of course. She will do her time soon.

You do have a right to an attorney at trial. But it seems like you've had many attorneys. At some point a judge may believe that a person is changing attorneys to delay a case. But ordering a person to trial without an attorney seems extreme.
