== Mao’s Last Dancer ==
Foster played a pivotal role in preventing Houston ballet performer Li Cunxin from being forcibly repatriated to Communist China. After performing for the Houston Ballet, Cunxin decided that he wished to stay in the United States. Cunxin, aware of the potentially severe political implications of this action, hired Foster as his immigration attorney. Upon informing officials at the Chinese Consulate of his decision, Cunxin was forcibly detained and prepared for repatriation back to China. Foster worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep his client in the United States, contacting senior U.S. officials and convincing a Houston federal judge to issue a restraining order. After a 21-hour ordeal, Cunxin was ultimately allowed to stay in the United States at the expense of his Chinese citizenship.
