This is the most important piece of advice I can give to immigrants right now. 📌 Save this post for later! We already know from Trump’s first term that things are about to get extremely chaotic. We can expect raids to begin on Day 1 of this new administration as they implement their plans for expedited removal and mass deportations. Expedited removal means that anybody who is undocumented who has been in the country for less than two years can be picked up and deported without due process rights. No right to a lawyer. No right to a hearing. Very little right to an appeal. All of this is decided IN THE MOMENT with the deportation officer. So what do you do about that? If you are undocumented and you have more than 2 years presence in the country, you MUST have that evidence on your person at ALL TIMES. Examples of evidence include: Kids birth certificates Lease agreements Tax payments Rent payments Any document that contains your name, a date, and a location within the US will serve as proof of your time here. ‼️ Gather all of this information now ‼️ Scan it, save it on an important folder on your phone, make copies and save them in folder at your house, and in your car so that you are prepared in the moment that you are detained and you can prove your presence for more than two years. This gives you the right to seek a bond, fight your case, and fight to stay in the country. 📩 Send this to anyone you think may need it! ☎️ Call, text or WhatsApp 512-599-8500 for more immigration help.
