Many asylum seekers wish to travel during the holidays, but there is an understandable concern due to reports of immigration operations in the country. Attorney Jesús Reyes clarifies this frequent doubt to provide peace of mind to you and your family.
What you should consider for your trip:
Legality of the trip: A person in an asylum process can travel legally within the national territory as long as they have a valid identification.
Required documentation: It is sufficient to present a driver’s license from any state of the American Union or a valid work permit.
Airport security: On domestic flights, passengers pass through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) control and not through immigration agents.
Risk assessment: Although detentions of people with active legal processes and no criminal record are uncommon, it is always essential to be prepared.
Legal protection: In the event of any inconvenience, there are mechanisms such as bond or custody redetermination to protect your rights.
Traveling informed is your best tool to avoid unnecessary setbacks.
