Judge bars Immigration Center from operating
A judge has granted a preliminary injunction against a Colorado Springs company accused of misleading customers into believing they were dealing with federal immigration officials.
Fourth Judicial District Judge Theresa Cisneros on Tuesday barred The Immigration Center from operations and continued a freeze on the company’s bank accounts until a hearing in May.
The Colorado Attorney General’s office filed a complaint against the company, alleging that it charged people $300 to $700 to provide standard immigration forms and assistance from untrained “document specialists.”
Charles Doucette, one of people named in the complaint, appeared at the hearing without a lawyer and denied the charges. Doucette said he has shut down the operation at 2910 Wood Ave., gotten out of the immigration business and moved to Reno, Nev.
