Immigration attorneys at LAX helping immigrants, many from Iran, detained by federal officials


At least 10 to 15 immigration attorneys have gathered at the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX international terminal to help travelers, mostly from Iran, who have been detained, one of the attorneys said Saturday. Attorneys have not yet been able to determine the number of fliers detained, as customs officials are not allowing attorneys or their families any access or communication with the detainees, said immigration attorney Jordan Cunnings. Some of the detained travelers included green-card holders, tourists, people with children and people with medical problems, Cunnings said. “People don’t have phone access or communication access to the people waiting for them, or their attorneys,” Cunnings said. 3:40 P.M.: This article was updated with more immigration attorneys.
