Next Legal Steps for Lissa’s Case

Dear friends and supporters, 💛

First — THANK YOU for continuing to stand with us. Every prayer, signature, and share is helping give Lissa a voice through this difficult time. 🙏

Today we had an important legal meeting with Jesse Evans-Schroeder, a highly experienced immigration attorney who is reviewing Lissa’s case in full.

Here’s what we now know:

✅ Lissa’s official court date is confirmed for June 12th @ 8:00 AM — before Judge Nicolas Orchwin at Eloy Immigration Court. We will be closely monitoring this in case of any last-minute changes.

✅ We are also gathering additional documents and building the strongest possible case.

✅ Visitation is scheduled this weekend, and the legal team will advise Lissa directly moving forward.

⚠️ The system remains difficult and unpredictable — but we are moving forward in faith and with the right legal guidance.

💥 How YOU Can Still Help:

🙏 Prayers are NEEDED — we believe this is the most powerful force.
