2 years later, here’s what the Trump campaign’s promise of mass deportation looks like on the ground: prioritizing young people who filed for asylum as children 10 years ago who now speak perfect English and are at the forefront of American cancer research. Ask me how I know

Two more people out of ICE custody in the last two days, with more to come soon! For the last year ICE has been arguing against all controlling law that anyone who crossed the border must be held without bond—and federal courts have disagreed in every one of our cases. When we fight, we win!

Haitian TPS is ending. As a result of this SCOTUS decision, many people living and working in the US legally will lose their status. If you are impacted, please speak with a qualified immigration attorney to review your options to remain in the United States. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

1/4 Today my detained client went to court for a hearing on his asylum application based on religious persecution. Instead, he was ordered removed to Honduras - a country where he has never been, or alternatively, to Ecuador - a country where he was previously persecuted based on his religion.

It's funny how the proclamation text directly contradicts what the administration is actually implementing right now. H-1Bs won't face travel bans and steep costs until next year. Looks like someone in the Trump admin missed Proclamation Writing 101. www.uscis.gov/sites/defaul...

If you are currently abroad and on a valid H-1b visa, starting Sunday you'll be barred from re-entering the U.S. - unless you or your employer pay $100,000 to the U.S. government. This de facto travel ban will cause chaos throughout tech and the entire economy. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Trump wants to increase the cost of an H-1b by $100,000 - making it way too expensive for most U.S. companies to ever hire a foreign worker. If this is real, expect top talent in science, tech, and other fields to find jobs and do research outside the United States. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

Now basically anyone who came to the U.S. across the border, will not be released from ICE custody while their case is pending. This is a radical change from 29 years of how everyone agreed the law worked and will keep ICE detention centers full. www.justice.gov/eoir/media/1...

A few days ago, DHS issued a secret new policy memo that attempts to keep (almost) everyone in ICE custody from having a bond hearing. If this works, almost no one will be released from custody while their case is pending. This is how mass deportations begin. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

US launches new bid to keep migrants detained by denying hearings, memo shows
The Trump administration is launching a new effort to keep immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally detained by denying them bond hearings, an internal memo showed, a change that could further swell the numbers of those held.

This was sent to my client who will never have $1.8 million to pay this absurd fine. She's never been arrested & is the mother of 2 US citizen children (one with serious health issues). She is also eligible for a visa based on severe human trafficking. This is who DHS is prioritizing right now.

There is no better way to start your day as an immigration attorney than by being there when someone is granted asylum after years of working together. There is just nothing like that moment when they realize that they are truly finally safe. Good things are still happening!

Today USCIS sent a (completely pointless) "Request for Evidence" relating to a client's residency application. Typically, USCIS is VERY strict about due dates and will deny an application if they receive a late response to something like this. But this one seems to be missing some key information...
