Except that he wasn't.
Immigration officials usually have a better handle on whether someone is an illegal alien than the lawyer defending them on a murder charge. It turns out they say that Rivera is an illegal alien who was never in the E-Verify system as originally, but falsely claimed.
The crap-weasel lawyer was seeking a gag order, and accused the federal government, namely President Trump, of spreading false information about his client's legal status.
"Sad and sorry Trump has weighed in on this matter in national media which will poison the entire possible pool of jury member," Richards wrote.
Trump's personal account and White House official Twitter account [which he is not yet banned from] identified Rivera as an "illegal alien" and used this example to discuss America's problematic immigration laws.
Rivera lived in Iowa for three to seven years and worked at Yarrabee Farms whose owners, one of whom is the prominent Republican Craig Lang, said they used the E-Verify system to vet Rivera.
Richard claimed "Craig Lang supports Cristhian's right to be in this jurisdiction and for the government to support any other idea of status publicly flies in the face of such statement. Cristhian deserves the court's protection as to his characterization before a jury pool."
Except that it's balderdash. Rivera was never in the E-Verify system. "A government archive does not indicate the Brooklyn, Iowa farm as a participating member of the system," noted the Des Moines Register. And Yarrabee Farms acknowledge this on Wednesday.
Michael Bars, a spokesman for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services told USA TODAY, "A search of records by USCIS revealed Rivera did not make any DACA requests nor were any grants given. We found no record in our systems indicating he has any lawful immigration status."
The gag order request by Richards was denied and he remains a shyster lawyer.
