Lawyers say posters suggesting migrants ‘self-deport’ are now appearing in court, detention
Immigration attorneys say the Trump administration has begun hanging up fliers in English and Spanish warning immigrants to self deport.
“The point is very clear, which is to have people leave without any process or without knowing all their rights,” said Amelia Dagen, a staff attorney with the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights. “The current administration is removing information about people’s rights, their obligations, their ability to go through full legal proceedings before potentially being deported [and] their access to assistance.”
The Amica Center is one of several legal service providers around the U.S. offering legal aid to adults and children going through the immigration system.
The new material — shared by the Amica Center — says immigrants who self deport can keep money earned in the U.S., may be eligible for help flying home, and could apply for legal immigration in the future. (snip)
The American Immigration Lawyers Association has since reported seeing them in courtrooms nationwide and also in immigration detention centers, including in Arizona. Dagen says the material has also been given directly to migrants after their court proceedings — she says one asylum seeker received the paper after being granted asylum.
There is also a Spanish version of the poster. This is just fantastic.
Meanwhile
A man who was detained during an immigration raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a Foley job site recently was attempting to obstruct the lawful arrest of an illegal alien, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Video of the incident showed ICE officers in a struggle with Leonardo Garcia Venegas on a job site in Foley on Wednesday.
NBC News never mentioned that the man was obstructing federal law enforcement, and all the other Credentialed Media outlets were the same. They all failed Journalism 101. But, did a great job with Activism 101, and Trump Derangement Syndrome.
That is fantastic ! The man was immediately releasedi
If he was actually obstructing a federal official why wasn’t he arrested?
Was it because he really wasn’t obstructing anyone and “los federales” knew that an arrest would leave them open to a suit for false arrest ? “Los Federales” said he instructed them but refused to show any body cams of the incident
We cannot trust anything told us by the trump regime.
Law enforcement will often handcuff and temporarily detain someone interfering with their lawful activities, but once they accomplish their primary mission let the person go if they feel the obstruction was not sufficiently obnoxious and harmful. That way they use their discretionary powers of arrest, and save themselves the headache of filling out paperwork and dealing with overly litigious individuals who are trying to create a PR nightmare.
