Just stay out of trouble, don't steal shit and don't put yourself in any shady situation. (But we already knew this even before this bill passed)

If you can personally tell me a story of someone you know that stuff like that happens to, then ill believe it.
It's just like me saying, i was assaulted by white supremacists in public. (It doesn't happen all the time) These are just minuscule instances.
At the end of day, its over. It passed, it will be law next week. All we can do is stay out of trouble and not put ourselves in situations like that.

That was just an example, but an accusation can come from various sources. The main concern is that even if you strive to be a model immigrant, unfounded accusations can lead to deportation. This is a key component of the bill. It's not about spreading fear, but rather about acknowledging the potential consequences.
Here is a brief overview of what the bill entails.
Step-by-Step Analysis:
- Definition of Terms: The term “charged” in legal contexts refers to being formally accused of a crime by law enforcement. This does not require a conviction; it merely indicates that law enforcement can bring charges against an individual.
- Legal Framework: The Laken Riley Act specifically states that any undocumented immigrant who falls into the categories mentioned (charged, arrested, etc.) will be detained. This broad language implies that due process protections may be circumvented since individuals could be detained based solely on accusations rather than proven guilt.
In summary, under the provisions outlined in the Laken Riley Act, you can indeed be deported if you are accused of a crime, even if you have not been convicted.
