Asylum Changes, Immigration Fines, and Byron Donalds' Statements

Patricia Poleo talks with Attorney Jesus Reyes about recent statements by Republican congressman and Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds, made during a visit to a Venezuelan restaurant in Doral.

They also discuss an important change for certain affirmative asylum applicants: USCIS could refer some cases directly to Immigration Court without first conducting an interview before an asylum officer.

Attorney Jesus Reyes explains who could be affected, why a court process can be more complex, and what people who have been waiting years for an interview should do. He also warns about the importance of updating evidence, demonstrating why a fear of returning to the home country still exists, and preparing before receiving a notice.

The conversation also addresses the immigration fines that some people reportedly are receiving for remaining in the United States without status, and the need to respond promptly to these communications.
