The Nashua Telegraph reports that at the request of the Mexican consulate, a Merrimack firm specializing in immigration law has taken on the case of an illegal alien charged with criminal trespass:
On Tuesday, Jorge Ramirez of Mexico pleaded guilty to two minor state offenses and seemed likely to be deported.
But that plea was withdrawn Thursday, and the matter is now slated to go to trial in Jaffrey-Peterborough District Court on July 12.

Ramirez, who spoke through an interpreter and did not have an attorney, pleaded guilty to trespass and to driving without a license in a short hearing Tuesday in Jaffrey-Peterborough District Court.
He was fined and ordered to report to federal immigration authorities, who planned to deport him.
But Wednesday, the Mexican consulate contacted Movafaghi’s firm, which specializes in immigration cases to the point that its Web site address is ImmigrationNH.com.
On Thursday, Randall Drew of Movafaghi’s office petitioned to withdraw Ramirez’s guilty plea. District Court Judge L. Phillips Runyon agreed and scheduled the July 12 trial.
Ramirez remains free on $1,500 cash bail.
If the immigration authorities would just deport these illegal aliens when they are caught, it would be a small step toward gaining control of our borders.
