It was a busy week in the federal courthouse for Rep. Nathan Cooper, R-Cape Girardeau. On Wednesday, he pleaded guilty to immigration fraud charges and on Thursday, he filed documents seeking a writ of mandamus that would enable one of his clients, a Bosnian who came to St. Louis in 1999 to be able to live here permanently.
In the document, Cooper says Elmir Muharemovic has been getting the runaround from the INS and asks that his case be expedited.
Cooper, a specialist in immigration law, filed a similar lawsuit on behalf of another Bosnian immigrant living in St. Louis, Nusreta Ibrahimovic, on July 30, according to court records.
