A partir del 1 de septiembre de 2019, ICE comenzará a acelerar la deportación de ciertas personas que se hallen en los Estados Unidos sin el beneficio de ver a un juez de inmigración, un proceso conocido como "expulsión acelerada".
Expedited Removal
Starting on September 1, 2019, ICE will start fast-tracking the deportation of certain people found in the U.S. without the benefit of seeing an immigration judge - a process known as "expedited removal."
Detencion de Familias
La Administración Trump está haciendo grandes cambios (negativos) que afectan la detención y liberación de los niños migrantes. El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional emitió nuevas reglas para revertir el acuerdo judicial de protección de 1997, conocido como Acuerdo Flores, que actualmente limita al gobierno a detener indefinidamente a los menores migrantes y garantiza su adecuada. seguridad y atención. Según el Acuerdo Flores, los menores detenidos generalmente deben ser liberados dentro de los 20 días. Las nuevas reglas buscan cambiar esa protección permitiendo la detencion indefinida de los menores y de la familia. Estas nuevos cambios causarán más hacinamiento y debilitarán la seguridad y el cuidado de los menores en custodia. Estas nuevas reglas no estarán en vigencia hasta Octubre, pero ya están enfrentando retos legales.
Detention of Families
The Trump Administration is making major changes (for the worse) affecting the detention and release of migrant children. The Department of Homeland Security issued new rules the reversing the protections of a 1997 court agreement-known as the Flores Settlement-that currently restricts the government from detaining migrant children indefinitely and ensures their safety and proper care. Under the Flores Settlement Agreement, children detained in custody must generally be released within 20 days.
Successes Amid Increased Consular Scrutiny
Under the Trump Administration, we have seen an increase of findings of inadmissibility for applicants attending consular interviews for their permanent residency abroad.
Attorney-Client Communication and Preparation
An important issue that I have encountered in practice is attorney-client communication and preparation. Immigration law, in particular, is a very uncertain area because most types of relief are discretionary, and policies can change without much notice. Thus, it is crucial for there to be open communication between the attorney and client, and for the client to be well prepared.

Highlights of Executive Orders regarding border security and interior immigration enforcement
Department of Homeland Security issued two memoranda implementing President Trump's executive orders regarding border security and interior immigration enforcement. Here are some highlights and comments:
H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act
On January 20, 2017, Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Richard Durbin (D-IL) reintroduced their H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act. Currently, the Trump administration is circulating a draft executive order targeting employment-based immigration. As the draft order mostly contains vague directions regarding numerous visa programs, the proposed bill serves as an indicator of where the H-1B and L-1 visa programs could potentially be headed under the current administration.
Executive Order on Protecting American Jobs and Workers by Strengthening the Integrity of Foreign Worker Visa Programs
During President Trump's first two weeks in office, he signed numerous executive orders, including several controversial immigration-related orders. More changes are potentially on the way, as the administration is now circulating drafts of several more immigration-related orders. One such draft order, entitled "Executive Order on Protecting American Jobs and Workers by Strengthening the Integrity of Foreign Worker Visa Programs," includes a number of provisions that could potentially restrict employment-based immigration.
