In August and September, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations has been busy across the United States. In Colorado and Wyoming, ICE arrested 63 people. Another 122 in Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Montana. 67 In Phoenix. 83 in New York City. 125 in Texas.
The focus is on dangerous criminals, but, the heightened activity also creates more detention of _anyone_ that ICE comes across if inadmissible. Be aware of who you are associating with. If you are out of status and have the ability to fix it, take action. Find out if you are eligible for any immigration status and pursue that.
If you need advice, seek it only from a qualified attorney. There are many people out there who will give advice, even charge for it, but only attorneys (and certain DHS Authorized Representative supervised by attorneys) are both qualified and legally empowered to give legal advice. Don’t be a victim.
