The Trump administration just announced it is seeking to revoke the citizenship of 17 naturalized US citizens.

For most of American history citizenship was considered permanent. Once you were naturalized — you were a citizen. Period. That assumption just got challenged.

The government has always had the ability to strip citizenship in cases of proven fraud. What is different right now is the aggressive use of this tool at a scale we have not seen before.

If you obtained your citizenship honestly — you have nothing to fear. The government must prove fraud in federal court. That is a high legal standard.

But if there were any inconsistencies in your naturalization application — anything omitted, understated, or misrepresented — even unintentionally — now is the time to speak with an immigration attorney before the government comes to you.

In this environment — they are looking.

Don’t wait until you receive a notice. Be proactive.

Congress just passed a $70 billion bill for ICE and Border Patrol today.

Not just for this year. Through the end of Trump’s entire term.

This is the largest immigration enforcement funding in United States history. More agents. More detention beds. More technology. More deportation flights. More workplace raids. More courthouse arrests.

The courts have been fighting back and judges across the country have been protecting immigrants. But $70 billion means the government now has the resources to fight those court battles aggressively while simultaneously ramping up operations on the ground.

If you have an unresolved immigration matter right now — a removal order, a pending case, an expired status — this funding makes your situation more urgent than it was yesterday.

Do not wait to get legal help.

Most people think human trafficking means being kidnapped or sold. That is not the only form it takes.

If your employer is not paying you and threatening to report you to immigration if you complain — that is labor trafficking. And the law was written to protect you.

Real situations that qualify for a T visa:

A hotel worker not paid for four weeks whose boss threatened ICE every time he tried to leave.

A nanny physically abused by the children in her care whose employer told her to accept it or lose her job and her status.

Restaurant workers paid below minimum wage and threatened with deportation. Domestic workers told they cannot leave. Construction workers whose documents were taken.

A T visa gives you work authorization, protection from deportation, and after three years — a green card. And unlike a U visa — you do not need a law enforcement certification to apply.

You are not alone. And you have rights.

Every summer ICE increases enforcement operations. Workplace raids. Construction sites. Landscaping companies. Car washes. Restaurants. The industries where our community works.

This summer is different. Deportations are already at record highs. ICE has more funding, more agents, and more technology than ever — iris scanners, facial recognition, license plate readers.

Here’s what you need to know.

At work — you have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions about your immigration status without a judicial warrant.

At home — do not open the door. ICE cannot enter without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Ask them to slide it under the door first.

In your car — stay silent. Do not answer questions about where you were born or your immigration status.

If you or a family member is detained this summer — call us immediately. Every hour matters.

Please share this with everyone in your community who needs to hear it.

Breaking news from yesterday that every immigrant with a pending case needs to hear.

A federal judge in Rhode Island issued a landmark ruling ordering the Trump administration to immediately restart processing asylum applications, green cards, work permits, travel documents, and naturalization cases for nationals from 39 countries.

The judge wrote a scathing 135-page decision calling the policies unlawful — saying USCIS acted without authorization from Congress and that the policies were driven by “anti-immigrant sentiments that the government is forbidden from letting influence its decision making.”

Here’s what this means right now. If your asylum case was frozen — it must start moving again. If your green card, work permit, or naturalization was paused because of your country of origin — USCIS must resume processing it. Previously approved cases cannot be reopened solely because of your nationality.

The government is already pushing back and this will likely be appealed. But right now — today — this ruling is in effect nationwide.

If your case has been frozen and you don’t know what happens next — call us today.

Your marriage based green card interview is coming up. Here are the exact questions USCIS will ask — and what they’re really looking for.

How did you meet? Where was your first date? Who said I love you first? What did you do for your last birthday together? What side of the bed does your spouse sleep on? What do they eat for breakfast? What time do they leave for work?

USCIS is trying to answer one question — is this a real marriage? If you and your spouse give different answers on even small details — the officer flags it. Inconsistencies are the number one reason marriage based cases get denied or referred for fraud investigations.

They will also ask about your bills, bank accounts, tax returns, lease or mortgage, and review your photos and social media.

And in 2026 — in person interviews are mandatory for every single marriage based case. Both spouses must appear. Both must be prepared.

We prepare every client thoroughly before their interview. Every question. Every document. Every detail.

Don’t walk in unprepared.

A 55-year-old Colombian woman named Adriana Quiroz Zapata was deported by the Trump administration — not to Colombia. To the Democratic Republic of Congo.

A country she has never lived in. A country she has no family in. A country that refused to accept her.

A federal judge was so outraged he immediately ordered the Trump administration to bring her back — citing the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case as precedent.

This is the Trump administration’s third country deportation policy in practice. Deporting people not to their home country — but to whatever country will accept them. Or in this case — even countries that won’t.

This is not an isolated incident. This is a policy.

If you or someone you love is in deportation proceedings — this case shows exactly why you cannot navigate this alone. Courts are pushing back. Judges are ordering people returned. But only when someone is there to fight.

Immigration attorneys across the country are reporting something deeply alarming.

ICE is detaining immigrants and taking their documents — passports, green cards, work permits, driver’s licenses, social security cards. And when people are released — sometimes in the middle of the night — ICE is not giving them back.

One attorney said: “I can’t think of a single client I’ve had detained who did not have their documents taken.”

It has gotten so bad that attorneys who used to tell clients to always carry their immigration documents are now telling them — don’t leave the house with your originals.

Here’s what you need to do right now. Make copies of every immigration document you have. Store digital copies in your phone. Email them to yourself and a trusted family member. If ICE takes your originals — you have proof of what they took.

And if a family member is detained and their documents are not returned — call us immediately. This is something we can fight.

Your documents are your life. Protect them.

DHS just awarded a $25 million contract to iris scanning company BI2 Technologies — deploying more than 1,500 scanners to ICE agents for use during immigration enforcement operations.

No ID required. No name needed. ICE scans your iris and within seconds knows exactly who you are, whether you have an immigration record, and whether there’s an active warrant for your arrest.

Privacy advocates and immigration attorneys are raising serious concerns about data storage, oversight, and how this information will be used. Right now there are no clear answers.

The government is investing heavily in technology to identify and track immigrants. If you have any open immigration matters — a pending case, a removal order, anything unresolved — now is the time to get legal help before technology finds you first.

Update on the USCIS adjustment of status memo.

As of today USCIS has confirmed that PM-602-0199 will be implemented on a case by case basis — meaning many immigrants will still be able to get their green card without leaving the United States.

Here’s what actually happened. The press release and the memo said two very different things. The government’s own spokesman overstated what the memo actually does. The law did not change. Not a single green card category was eliminated.

What changed is the level of scrutiny. A clean strong package matters more now than ever. Negative factors will be examined more carefully. But you do not have to leave the country.

The government scared a lot of people last week. Our job is to give you the truth.

If you have a pending case or were about to file — call us today.
