$70 Billion Approved for Immigration: Who Is Affected?
1 min read
Congress approved approximately $70 billion for immigration, aimed at strengthening border security and expanding immigration enforcement operations within the country.
What Will These Funds Be Used For?
These funds could be used to hire more ICE and Border Patrol agents, increase detention center capacity, add more surveillance technology, and strengthen control at the borders with Mexico and Canada.
Who Could This Measure Affect?
This increase in resources could primarily affect people who do not have immigration status, have final removal orders, or have criminal records. However, some people may retain valid immigration protection or have the possibility of applying for a benefit that allows them to remain legally in the United States, depending on their particular case.
What Can You Do?
Given these changes, it is important to remain calm, keep your available immigration documents, and proactively review whether there is any legal option to protect your stay in the United States.
Every immigration case is different. If you have questions about your status, a removal order, asylum, TPS, or any other immigration process, contact our office to receive legal guidance.
