I write to inform you that there is a grave error in the article titled “NY Gives Birth to Non-Citizens’ Right to a Jury Trial If Deportation Possible” by Joseph D. Nohavicka, published February 11, 2019.

Specifically, the article claims that, under the recent case of People v. Suazo, “The defendant has the burden to prove that he or she is in the country illegally.”
