Wait?
If you follow the ‘rules’ and show up for a green card hearing to be made LEGAL while being married to a US Citizen?
No criminal record?
Part of the process….
Trump & Co. want to deport ya ….
Not so simple though
This whole thing IS from the Biden Admin*. Maryland Federal Court case that could affect the whole country…
NOT Trump……
Biden’s rule said you have to leave the country BEFORE the hearing comes up….
THEN come back?
Course NOW?
Trump ain’t gonna let ya come back, eh?
You would be self deporting….
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit is weighing whether to overturn a lower court order in Maryland that bars immigration officials from arresting certain people during green card interviews with their U.S. citizen spouse, a tactic being employed by the Trump administration elsewhere in the country.
In the appeal that was initially filed by the Biden administration, Justice Department attorneys argued on Thursday that a 2024 judgment imposing the ban should be reversed because the plaintiffs in a 2020 class-action lawsuit have been issued final orders of removal and “lack any right to remain in the United States,” according to a live stream of the oral arguments before a three-judge panel.
Attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland say that the administration’s effort amounts to a “bait and switch,” in that, under its current policy, people with final orders of removal are invited with their U.S. citizen spouse to show up for a green card interview to begin a first step toward gaining legal permanent status. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers then arrested some while they were in the offices of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for the interview.
“If you want to change that policy, you have to issue new rules, or you have to rescind the old ones,” said Michael Abrams, an attorney working with the ACLU of Maryland on a pro bono basis. “That’s why it’s become this procedural fight about how the government is supposed to work.
The legal dispute revolves around rules the Department of Homeland Security instituted in 2013 that allowed for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens to seek what is known as a provisional unlawful presence waiver, meant to avoid long periods of separation that begins with the green card application that prompts an interview to confirm a marriage.
Getting approval for the waiver is a step to legal residency that lifts a 10-year bar on reentry for people found to have been in the country illegally. In 2016, DHS extended the process to people with final removal orders, according to the federal register.
*Under the rule, anyone granted the waiver is still required to leave the country to process an immigrant visa at a U.S. Consulate abroad. Getting the waiver approved does not guarantee legal status, according to the USCIS website.
During President Donald Trump’s first administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers began arresting people with final removal orders after they and their spouse showed up for their green card interview….
Note…
NO ONE will talk about Biden’s effort’s to stop illegal migration…
His narrative is and will be the overran border….
Trump & Republican’s DID over on that….
