They used to consider all of the circumstances surrounding each and every case. Kids, family, ties, employment, criminal record, etc. That is no longer standard practice. If you are eligible for deportation, they don't care about anything else it seems.

Stay out of trouble and you don't have any reason to fear being detained by ICE. Don't skip out on court and don't do anything to get yourself sent to court (driving without a license if you're not under DACA is unavoidable and I understand that. I was sent to court myself for this before DACA). Yes, you always hear about the exceptional case of someone being detained with little to no reason, but for the most part, you stay out of trouble you don't encounter ICE.

I'm starting to sound like a Trump supporter and Blue Lives Matter person...but geez the fear no getting and victimization are getting out of countril.

Seriously, what ARE you doing here? Do you realize that all of these also affect dreamers? If your parents had a final order or skipped court when you were a minor, that also will haunt you for the rest of your life. That means if a dreamer also tries to adjust his/her status, they would also be subject to the same treatment.

If you can provide me some evidence, I will gladly defend my position, and you may even be able to change my mind.
