Charles Kuck, one of Abraham-Joseph’s lawyers, has been adamant about defending his client against libel claims from ICE, and one of the main ones is thatAbraham-Joseph hid his immigration status from the world.

“The Department of Homeland Security has known his address and his history since his filing for the U visa in 2017, yet they took no action against him until this past weekend,” Charles Kuck said in a statement.

 Abraham-Joseph came to the Unite States at a young age, and unfortunately, his visa expired a year later. However, being that young, you don’t know about the legality of situations like this.
