Hello, I am once again asking for your help in my Dad's evolving situation.
I posted here recently about my Dad being arrested as border agents found illegal substances in his truck. He is truly innocent and he hasn't been criminally charged, he only has to fight for his ability to enter the US again or something along the lines. (They think I'm too young and don't tell me all the information).
However, my Dad has not gotten his own truck back. My Dad seems to not care and he mentioned he doesn't want to "annoy" the border agents and so, therefore, making them not want to give it back further. But his request to get it back has been denied and so he has been without a truck since August. This is obviously really hard as my Dad has had no income and so it really affects us.
My question is how would we go about getting it back? I've suggested hiring a lawyer... but my parents instantly start fighting with me and say it'll cost more than the truck itself (It was valued at $93K USD) which I think is absolutely wrong. They say we just have to wait for them to do their investigation... like what else do they need to investigate its been over 4 months. I'm really worried that my Dad's truck will be forfeited and so we'll lose out on such a big asset and it'll set us so back.
My Dad communicates with the border agent and hasn't heard anything in a month and is scared of pissing them off further... so where do we go from here? (I've also thought about contacting the general consulate but I'm not sure how effective that would be)
This community has been great and I want to thank everyone.
