Eugenio's Blog!

Okay, so I know it has been a while since my last post. I had no idea my internet connection has been down for almost a year! I've been blogging all this time, but I thought the "Error: You are not connected to the Internet" pop-ups were just advertisements. I can't believe I lost most of my 3L writings! Rats! I guess there's no written proof that I spent the summer of 2006 studying for the Bar examination . . . except for the gashes in my eyes caused by extreme frustration.

Well, I have started work on my Immigrant Worker and Detainee Advocacy Project. One part of my project will deal with assisting immigrant workers in a variety of legal areas, but most crucially in labor and wage violations. The other part of my project will assist asylum applicants and detained immigrants, which will usually result in defending them in removal (deportation) proceedings. The funds that pay for my fellowship carry no restrictions; neither my host organization nor my fellowship organization receives federal grants. As such, I am free to work with people of all kinds, most notably undocumented immigrants.

I am thinking about restarting my blog, but I cannot in good faith make any promises as to how long this energy will keep. I definitely won't blog everyday, but I have been experiencing hilarious things since I moved to Toledo, and I just have to start keeping a record of all this stuff. It's too good to go undocumented . . .
