if you want to lose your loved one in the system call INS

I have to say the system we have here is broken, or at least that's my opinion. My boyfriend got picked up by INS on the sixth at 3am from the city jail. Now mind you almost all attorneys claim that INS will NOT come before the city "state" case is finished and time has been served. They took him to the local office Thursday where they supposedly gave him a bond and then changed the bond, though Friday INS in Arlington says there is no bond. Thursday night he was taken to the Virginia Beach Jail and subsequently removed sometime after 1pm. Finally yesterday around maybe four I got a call from Hopewell, Riverside Regional Jail. He didn't stay on the phone long enough for me to set up a phone account but then the message was in English. In the meanwhile of trying to find him I spoke with the people at the Honduran Embassy in D.C. Very nice people might I mention. I still plan on calling the Washington office today. You see Dudree if I'm spelling it right is the unhelpful INS officer in Arlington. The only one who will answer my questions with I can't tell you anything because your not immediate family. His family though may appear in the office with a translator for information, there is no phone number for them to call. Which is in my opinion utterly ridiculous. When calling the Honduran Embassy I told them what Mr. Dudree had said and she quickly responded but you are (Immediate family). I have to say I like her. They were all very polite and very kind. I've found most people from Honduras tend to be. So now I'm trying to figure out who to come up with all the money for the attorney. But extra money when your paying all the household bills, and a doctors "global co-pay" is not the easiest thing in the world. I've made mention to his brother we still needed four hundred dollars but he always says just to call him, never says I'll see what I can do. Maybe I need to say can you get, borrow, steal( just kidding) from somewhere.

I also talked to a couple of friends recently about what was going on, and of course they are concerned but they can't remember his name. That kind of bugs me. Not that neither one seems to care any less but it's one name that hasn't changed in over a year and a half. So that's the short story of what's going on.
