The Trump Administration issued a proclamation last Friday that would add additional burdens to the process of obtaining an immigrant visa.

Several immigration advocates have asked a federal judge to put a hold on Trump administration plans to implement its new public charge rule.  The new rules are set to take effect on October 15.

The United States Supreme Court has allowed a Trump administration rule banning certain asylum requests to take effect pending an appeal.

People working and living in the United States on a non-immigrant visa do not necessarily need to travel back to their home countries to seek permanent residence.

The Trump administration is seeking to supersede the Flores agreement, a court settlement stemming from a Supreme Court case that limits the length of time the federal government can detain migrant children at 20 days.

In a widely expected move, the Trump administration has announced a change to immigration regulations that would change the definition of a 'public charge' to include common public benefits, such as food stamps or Medicaid.

A new rule from the U.S. Attorney General's office would make it more difficult for members of families targeted by gang violence to receive asylum in the United States. 

For immigrants who feel that they are being targeted for a mass raid, knowing your rights can be the most powerful defense against detention.
