Law Office of Charmaine C. Powell,

Call us at 305-654-9420 for expert immigration guidance. On Friday, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation suspending entry if immigrants into the United States who will not be covered by health insurance within thirty days of entry or who do not have the means of paying for health insurance costs for themselves. This proclamation takes effect on November 3, 2019 and will have the most devastating impact on legal immigration if it is implemented. It is imperative for anyone who is seeking status in the United States to seek the advise and assistance of an Attorney as anyone applying for status in the United States needs an advocate now more than ever.

Everyone is on edge about the U. S. Immigratiom and Custom Enforcement’s(ICE) raids that are supposed to take place in various cities today. These are just some of the things you need to know to protect yourselves and family members. 1) If there is a final order of Removal against you, but you were not informed of the hearing before the immigration judge, because the notice may have been sent to a different address, you need to contact an Attorney immediately as a motion can ...be done to vacate the Order of Removal. 2) If an ICE Agent knocks on your door, you have the right to refuse entry, unless the Agent has a warrant signed by a Judge with your name in it. For that warrant to be valid, your information has to be correct on the warrant. 3) You have the fifth amendment right to remain silent. You do not have to answer any questions that an ICE Agent may ask you. 4) You have the Constitutional right to be protected from an unlawful search. You have the right to contact an Attorney. Call my office for more information. See more
