Remedies for Survivors of Domestic Violence In Jeopardy – Riverside Lawyer Features Immigration Trends

September 11, 2012

by Sara Mostafa-Ray

Riverside Lawyer Magazine, a publication of the Riverside County Bar Association, published an article in their September 2012 issue entitled “The Cantor-Adams Bill: On Gutting VAWA,” authored by Sara Mostafa-Ray, an attorney affiliated with Montage Legal Group.

The article discusses the protections offered by the Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”) and the U visa for non-US-citizen victims of domestic violence and how the so-called Cantor-Adams Bill, a version of VAWA reauthorization promulgated by House Republicans, undercuts such VAWA protections, endangers victims of domestic violence and subverts the U visa’s purpose of protecting the public from dangerous crimes.

To read the full article, see the September 2012 on-line issue of Riverside Lawyer at the following link:  http://riversidecountybar.com/barpubs/1209RL.pdf.
