Immigration lawyer defiantly practicing removal defense and fighting anti-immigrant extremism.https://bsky.app/profile/abogada.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/abogada.bsky.social/post/3lklg5ujvbc2iThis was my most recent post— 1 month ago. As an immigration lawyer, I have been putting out as many fires as I can, and it’s exhausting. Fast forward to this weekend: Trump defied a federal judge’s order and deported hundreds of Venezuelans. Outrageous & posts won’t fix this Constitutional crisis.

However, they limited the scope of the injunction to Texas. And then they stayed that decision and remanded. Litigation continues. TLDR: Nothing has changed for DACA now, but it might.

They see no value in ensuring that poor kids have equal access to education. Poor adults build wealth for the wealthy.

You don’t have to ask at the POE. You can, but that doesn’t constitute an application for asylum, and failing to do so doesn’t preclude your application.

Trump and his team learned a lot last time and have prepared to hit the ground running on many fronts. Shock and awe. It’s going to be brutal. Follow me for more cheery takes. 🫠21 Nov 2024 00:32 +0000at://did:plc:gbhnbv34uo26jnrpugldntde/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbg7o2xpuk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/abogada.bsky.social/post/3lbfi5pldlc2yI’ll just add, even if you are not in a “danger” or “priority” category, if your neighbor, roommate, spouse, coworker, etc. is, stay alert. Consider options. Too many people who were not targets under Trump 1.0 got swept up as collateral damage.
