📌Key takeaways:

*USCIS is conducting more thorough reviews — not automatic denials, but closer scrutiny

*Proactive prep is key — gather marriage certificates, tax returns, employment records, and support letters early

Attorney Paschal sits down for an important interview as part of Occupied: A Minnesota ICE Occupation Documentary — a six-episode documentary covering the federal occupation of Minneapolis and its impact on immigrant communities, families, and local residents.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this conversation and continue advocating for those affected. Thank you to everyone continuing to speak up, stay informed, and support one another during difficult times!

Gracias a PBS NewsHour por la oportunidad de hablar sobre el impacto real del aumento de operativos de ICE en Minnesota en las comunidades inmigrantes.

En un momento en que el miedo y la incertidumbre siguen presentes para muchas familias, es fundamental centrar la conversación nacional en la verdad, la justicia y la humanidad.

Estamos agradecidos de poder ayudar a amplificar estas voces.

“Unfortunately, if you’re from Iran, Venezuela, or Afghanistan and you’ve gone through the process, now you’re put on hold, your citizenship interview is canceled…because some guy decided to do something illegal and unconscionable—shooting other people,” said Minneapolis-based attorney Paschal Nwokocha. “A big segment of our immigrant population is now having to pay because of the sin of one person.”

In response to the DC shooting, the administration is blocking pathways for rule-following and vulnerable immigrants.

Entendemos que muchos de nuestros clientes sienten preocupación ante la posibilidad de ser detenidos y el impacto que esto puede tener en sus familias. Para ayudarles a prepararse, hemos creado un Paquete de Plan de Emergencia diseñado para asegurar que sus seres queridos tengan la información necesaria en caso de que ocurra una emergencia. Este paquete puede ser llenado y entregado a un familiar o amigo de confianza para que pueda ayudar con responsabilidades importantes si usted llega a ser detenido.

El Paquete de Plan de Emergencia está disponible en inglés y español.

También estamos proporcionando un artículo de Conozca Sus Derechos, creado por la ACLU, disponible en inglés y español. Este recurso ofrece orientación esencial para comprender y ejercer sus derechos durante encuentros con agentes de inmigración.

Todos estos materiales estarán disponibles en la entrada de nuestra oficina, de manera gratuita para que nuestros clientes los tomen, revisen y compartan con sus familias.

Próximamente publicaremos un video con la Abogada Danielle, en el que explicará qué hacer cuando se encuentre con agentes de ICE y brindará orientación práctica para ayudarle a mantenerse informado y preparado.
