Tips under the new Laws under Trump and AG Sessions
 

Important tips under Trump Administration and Justice Department under Jeff Sessions.

3. Lawfully present nonimmigrants (e.g. DACA, U Visa, EADs, Visitors, Students, H1Bs, etc.). Carry with you at all times your Employment Authorization Document, I-94 card, passport with entry stamp, or other proof of lawful presence (see the law above). Carry the original with you and keep a photocopy in a safe place at home, especially if you are within the 100 mile border area (more than 60% of the US population lives in this zone).

4. Undocumented immigrants in the US for more than two years. Keep with you at all times evidence that you have been present for at least two years. Why? Because President Trump just ordered DHS to examine activating a never used provision in immigration law that allows for the immediate removal from the US of anyone who cannot prove they have been here for two years (absent a claim for asylum). We do not know when ICE or CBP might activate the change, but we need to be prepared. Evidence that you might want with you are utility bills, receipts, Facebook posts, mail or any other documentation with your name going back two years, BUT, be very careful of using pay stubs if you have used false documents or information to get your job, as those are prosecutable offenses. Again you should also keep this information at home so that it is accessible to someone who can help you. Keep a photocopy at home. And, make sure you have a family plan in place to call for legal assistance if you fail to return home as usual.

5. Undocumented immigrants in the US for less than two years. The bad news is that you need a plan in place on what will happen to your belongings and your family if you do not return home from work, shopping, or school. Make sure your relatives know they can look for your name on the ICE detainee website. We assume that ICE and CBP will not release you on bond, and that if you have a fear or returning home, you will need to be VERY vocal about letting everyone know if you are detained

6. Undocumented Immigrants with 10 years in the United States and children. You are eligible for Cancellation of Removal, and release on bond. Begin now to prepare the paperwork you will need to secure a bond, and to prove your case. You can read more about this process here. Don't be caught unprepared!

7. Non-US Citizens (Permanent Residents, Visa Holders, and Undocumented Immigrants) who have a criminal convictions OR are arrested. If you have a criminal conviction, or are even arrested for a crime, ICE has begun to detain people in this category and has released only a very few on bond. If you have relief from removal, you are eligible for bond, but, depending on where you are, you may not be released. Prepare for this by saving money for bond now, and have the paperwork organized so that our attorneys can quickly help seek a bond.

8. Undocumented Immigrants with prior deportation orders. If you have a prior deportation order and have returned to the United States, you are subject to prosecution by the federal government for the crime of reentry after deportation. President Trump has ordered his U.S. Attorneys to increase the number of people charged with this crime. Depending on WHY you were deported (for example a serious criminal offense), you can spend up to five years in federal prison for reentering the US. Again, make your plans now about how you want to deal with this situation. If you have a deportation order and never left, NOW is the time to speak to an immigration attorney and seek advice about your options to reopen your deportation case.

9. For those Arrested by ICE, especially for the undocumented--Have a plan in place. Decide now who picks up the kids from school/daycare, who will be authorized to do so with the school, who to contact first, have a power of attorney prepared for this. In the last few weeks we have heard of parents being picked up at school bus stops and at work and home while the kids are in school. Once it happens, there is no time to make arrangements.

Can someone please link me to this?

Trump's order for DHS to examine activating a never used provision in immigration law that allows for the immediate removal from the US of anyone who cannot prove they have been here for two years.

Edit: I guess I was not clear, does anyone know the source on which these lawyers are saying carry evidence that you've been here for more than 2 years? I want to know where did they get this from.

Re: Tips under the new Laws under Trump and AG Sessions
 

Damn carry with you the original

I don't feel too comfortable with this if you lose it then good luck

Re: Tips under the new Laws under Trump and AG Sessions
 

Might as well carry all your documents that you submitted for initial DACA. We will have to carry a luggage bag everywhere we go.

I have read this memo.

Isn't the entire EO halted for now though?

Re: Tips under the new Laws under Trump and AG Sessions
 

Only the ban for the 7countries is halted for now. The rest of the signed EO are in place, including the funding for sanctuary cities.

Re: Tips under the new Laws under Trump and AG Sessions
 

The memo in this article is true?

Are they saying those that are here for over 10 years with children or 10 years with no children qualifies too?

Re: Tips under the new Laws under Trump and AG Sessions
 

For cancellation of removal, you need a few things.

"Nonpermanent residents must establish that he/she (1) has been physically present in the United States for a continuous period of 10 years (2) has been of good moral character during the 10-year period, (3) has not been convicted of select criminal offenses and (4) that removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to US citizen or lawful permanent resident family members."

Then you can ASK a judge, to cancel your removal. It is not automatic.

I don't think even with the original ICE will simply just let us go. They will harass the living fuck out of us
