United States of America v. Power (26-CV-62030-Rodney Smith) Posted 08/27/2026

Defendant seeks an attorney to represent her. The United States has filed an action to revoke Defendant’s naturalized U.S. citizenship. The U.S. alleges that, before Defendant became a naturalized U.S. citizen, she engaged in criminal activity that she concealed throughout the naturalization process and that disqualified her from U.S. citizenship. The U.S. seeks to denaturalize Defendant on three grounds:

(1) she illegally procured her U.S. citizenship because she committed an unlawful act during the statutory period before she naturalized that precluded her from demonstrating the requisite good moral character;
(2) she illegally procured her U.S. citizenship because she provided false testimony at her naturalization interview, which also precluded her from demonstrating the requisite good moral character; and
(3) she concealed and willfully misrepresented her unlawful acts, which adversely reflect on her moral character, throughout the naturalization proceedings. The case is at a very early stage. Representation would entail representing Defendant during all pretrial proceedings, including discovery and dispositive motions, and during trial, if necessary.

Valdes v. Sohn et al (26-cv-61155-Melissa Damian) Posted 08/21/2026

Plaintiff, Alexis Valdes, seeks a volunteer lawyer to represent him in a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against a law enforcement officer and the City of Margate. Plaintiff alleges three claims: Excessive Force and False Arrest against the Officer and a Monell claim for unconstitutional policy, custom, and failure to train against the City of Margate. Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that while responding to a car accident, the Officer encountered Plaintiff, saw that Plaintiff was “backing away” from the Officer “as if in a fighting stance,” and escalated the encounter from there, causing the Officer and Plaintiff to grapple on the ground until the Officer struck him three times in the face. Afterwards, Plaintiff was charged with resisting arrest. The Officer’s body worn camera was shut off for the one-minute span when the Officer struck Plaintiff in the face. The Defendants have filed a Motion to Dismiss but the Motion is only directed at the Monell claim against the City of Margate, so the sufficiency of Plaintiff’s claims against the Officer are not challenged at this stage. This case is at an early stage, and representation would entail representing Plaintiff during all pretrial proceedings, including discovery, at a potential settlement conference, and at trial, if necessary.
