I was recently arrested and served a search warrant by the SWAT team, but the warrant was for someone else with a different name, social security number, and birthday. I was imprisoned for 6 days, lost my job, and incurred damages to my home. Can I sue the police department for this mishap?

During my marriage from 1995 to 2008, my husband received annual gift checks from his parents, some of which were addressed to me. I discovered in 2007 that he had been forging my name on these checks. The divorce was finalized in 2008, and I was unaware of these checks until then. Is forgery prosecutable, and could this lead to any legal consequences for my ex-husband, such as jail time or probation?

I have an immigration issue. My friend from church is married to an American citizen and had residency in Florida up until the end of May 2010. She filed all her paperwork and paid her fees for her residency. When she received her original residency card, it was incorrect, so she reapplied. She called to check the status of her new residency card and was told it was still being processed. By the time it was close to her original cut-off date, she called again and was told it was still in process. The next form she received in the mail stated that they did not receive the form to file her own residency, and her previous residency was cancelled and revoked. She will no longer be able to work or continue to have residency in Florida. They have now set her a hearing on September 8th, 2010, to determine if she will be deported back to her country. What should she do?
