A few weeks ago, Patrick Kabat (Chandra Law), Carolyn Allen, and I filed an appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court, asking it to agree to review a very interesting — and, in my view, troubling — Ohio Court of Appeals decision.

The Haitian national accused of shooting a Florida cop in the head Saturday has had an immigration detainer filed against him, officials said Wednesday, ending nearly a decade during which authorities arrested Wisner Desmaret numerous times but didn’t inform immigration officials about him.
