Immigration court alert: Reports show some hearings are being moved on days’ notice, and some people are never told. Missing a hearing, even by mistake, can lead to a deportation order. Check your hearing date and location now, and do not face court without a lawyer.
On August 6, the President signed a new order saying federal agencies would not recognize the citizenship of certain children born in the United States, including children of an “alien enemy,” a foreign government employee, or a parent engaged in so-called birth tourism. On September 2, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland blocked the order, finding it very likely unconstitutional in light of the Supreme Court’s June ruling. Administration officials said they would go to the Supreme Court if necessary.
What this may mean: The new order is on hold for now. Keep your child’s birth certificate and other proof of citizenship in a safe place.
