For immigrants following the rules means risking it all

News from La Opinion

Undocumented citizens are now informed of the possibility of detainment and deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (ICE) when they show up for scheduled appointments at the office of immigration services.

According to La Opinion, this is not specific to the Trump administration, immigrants were also deported during their immigration appointments under the George W. Bush administration. However, today it is an increasing trend.

This is a real fear for undocumented citizens, including green card holders, which complicated their ongoing legal case of citizenship. La Opinion writes that immigration lawyers are currently working on legal ways to prevent their clients from being deported when they appear at their immigration appointments.

La Opinion encourages its readers to take legal advice under special consideration when deciding on appearing for immigration appointments.
