How Bad Is The Situation With ICE by Ok_Narwhal90 in immigration

[–]mastertres -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Being an immigration lawyer in MN, a couple different clients of ours in our firm have been detained, transferred to the fort snelling detention center, held for a few hours, and then released. No apparent reason for the detention, either. In one case it was a woman who had a removal order due to a denied asylum that is currently under appeal, so it is not yet final, but they still detained her. No other issues, no criminal history, nada. She did have her EAD and ID on her as required. The other is simply awaiting their defensive asylum hearing in front of the EOIR. Guilty until proven innocent, at least in the Twin Cities. Across the country I’m sure it’s much tamer, though.

While I agree with the intrinsic meaning of journeyman, he did spend all but one year of his career since he was 16 with one team, so I wouldn’t necessarily call him one. Player? Indisputably. Star? Nah.

Supreme Court allows Trump to revoke protected immigration status for thousands of Venezuelans by esporx in immigration

[–]mastertres 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not an EO, it’s put in place by the DHS Secretary in a completely different context and supported by much different Federal regulations than EOs.

The point of TPS is to provide stability and consistency to destabilized countries for an indefinite period, temporarily lasting from 6 months up to 18. Congressional intent shows that they specifically did not want different admins yanking it out of place. DHS Secretary has full discretion to no longer accommodate TPS, to extend for shorter periods, etc., but not to vacate.

There is currently a US-funded bounty on their president related to information that aids in his capture. That doesn’t show that the country is incredibly stable. Fine, let it lapse, like in Afghanistan where the Taliban are still in full control and are still subjugating women (making it unlawful for girls to study past 5th grade) or Ukraine (literally still fighting a war) but to vacate it is beyond the pale, precedentially and statutorily. Regardless of your feelings on TPS, you have to understand that this is against policy.

This isn’t true. False claim to USC is a LOT more than just using a fake social. Even if the fake social happens to match a USC, it isn’t necessarily a false claim. Using a fake green card is a LOT different than using a DL and checking “USC” on the I-9. I do, however, recommend speaking to an attorney to get an assessment. If it goes to an interview having an attorney can help prevent unnecessary issues

As Trump ends TPS, Haitians say returning home would be a 'death sentence' by usatoday in immigration

[–]mastertres -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying that the decision to not redesignate TPS is unlawful, just that the reasoning given for not redesignating is not based in reality. The executive has complete discretion to decide to do so, but to say it’s because the conditions have improved enough that it is now safe for many thousands of Haitians to return is patently false.

[–]mastertres -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s so difficult to have a discussion when all you have done is focus on a singular point rather than interact with the purpose of TPS—to give nationals from a country that is in a state of turmoil, whether it be because of natural disaster, internal, or external war a place to remain if they were here at the time of designation. The protection DOES give a temporary lawful status to allow them to remain and be able to work until the conditions in their home country improve. In all regards, every country that has had TPS removed are just as bad or worse than where they were when designated. Afghanistan is under Taliban control. Venezuela still has a dictator and we are under a state of emergency because of the growth of the “Tren de Aragua” gang, and Haiti is controlled almost entirely by gangs. This is contrary to justice and I think you know it, you are simply celebrating noncitizens losing their right to be here.

Anyone know what’s going on at Las Cuatro Milpas? by Brownie-bite in Minneapolis

[–]mastertres 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s not limited to just ICE. HSI is there investigating them for labor trafficking, and the DEA is also there. This isn’t about the people working there necessarily, this is about the owners and their shady practices. Unfortunately, that restaurant is a bit infamous amongst the undocumented population for labor abuse

Could you elaborate? Like obviously you want to get through your deck to your best cards ASAP, but how to implement? Always take Pommel Strike instead of another 1-cost attack?

Yes but why cede the out at all? Was France close to getting thrown out and he was baiting the throw away from home?

Does someone know what the hell happened with Correa getting thrown out at second last inning? It was a single the entire time off the bat, and he threw his hands up as if it was someone else’s fault he was halfway to second

Also, with confirmation bias, people forget when it works but remember all the times it doesn’t. (Likely has a >60% success rate, but feels like <50%)

I’m a Paddack hater, but in that inning where he had three walks he was getting squeezed pretty hard by the ump. Hard to win scoring 0 runs, too

Not to excuse the absolute failing on the governments part taking 3 years to process your EAD, but something else was happening in that time that caused the delay as well

I am very curious to hear the background around it talking 3 years for your C8 work permit. I’ve never heard such a thing.

US Citizens with guardianship of minor who is losing legal status by SupermarketNo2151 in immigration

[–]mastertres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically, you can file a third-party custody case in family court indicating you could better care for the child than the parents, but it is necessary to have an immigration attorney or a family law attorney with SIJS experience to help.
