Immigration attorney Julio Oyhanarte pointed out that migrant individuals in the United States live in constant uncertainty and fear of being deported under the new policies implemented by President Donald Trump. In light of this situation, many do not know whether they should go to work, school, or other places.
"People are worried, distressed, it’s logical, and the uncertainty doesn't help," Oyhanarte mentioned during an interview on Aristegui En Vivo. In this context, he recommended that migrants gather information from reliable sources and reminded them of their constitutional rights, such as the right to remain silent, not to sign documents, and to consult a lawyer in specific cases.
Additionally, he advised migrants to have documents that prove their stay in the country for at least two years, as those who cannot demonstrate this may be detained and deported without the right to appear before a judge. He also explained the cancellation of the CBP One application and the end of birthright citizenship for certain immigrants as recent measures adopted by the United States.
According to Oyhanarte, both Congress and President Trump have the authority to make immigration decisions without judicial intervention, citing national and public security reasons. The attorney emphasized that these measures are based on border control and the supposed more detailed information from authorities about the situation at the border.
In summary, the situation for migrants in the United States is becoming increasingly complicated due to the implemented immigration policies, creating uncertainty and fear in the migrant community.
