Immigration officers are not allowed to enter your workplace. Whether it is a factory, store, high-rise, farm, or orchard, without permission from the owner or manager.
Say, that you do not consent to a search. ICE can enter areas open to the general public (dining area, parking lot, waiting room) of a business without permission.
But that does not give ICE the authority to detain, question, or arrest anyone. If an officer does get permission to enter, the officer is free to ask you questions about your immigration status. You have the right, to keep silent.
Connect with an immigration response network in your area. If ICE agents enter a public area of your business, say: “I am the employer. You cannot go to other areas of the workplace without my permission.” If ICE agents try to enter a private area, say: “This is a private area.”

Deportation
Defenses Against Deportation US Political Asylum, Immigration Representation Project
US law endorses-upholds, guarantees, the protections of the International Refugee Convention.
The Convention Relating To The Status Of Refugees, The 1951 Refugee Convention - Geneva Convention of July 28,1951.
The law provides that any person “physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States, irrespective of such person’s status, may apply for asylum.”
All people seeking asylum, regardless of their race, national origin, or method of entry, have the legal right to seek asylum in the United States.
People seeking asylum in the United States are fleeing persecution, torture and sometimes death. Upon their arrival, they face new challenges, navigating complex US immigration laws and an increasingly restrictive environment that bars asylum seekers from winning protection.
Restrictions include family separation, rapid processing for deportation and a sprawling detention and surveillance system.
Prior to taking office, President Biden vowed to protect the right to asylum and bring the US into long awaited compliance with domestic and international obligations. The Biden administration has adopted a temporary parole program showing the United States capacity to center the dignity and humanity of people in need of protection.
It is never too late to protect the fundamental right, to seek asylum. The National Immigrant Justice Center / FB

I Like The Following Two Clauses Of The Bipartisan Border Security Bill.
* Asylum Officers And Asylum Reform
Asylum Officer Staffing There is an insufficient number of asylum officers to do initial screenings.
As a result, each asylum case generally takes 5 to 7 years to be heard and adjudicated.
There are approximately 1,000 Asylum Officers. The Bipartisan Senate Bill would add an additional 4,300 Asylum Officers and it would make the asylum process faster and fairer.
* Getting More Immigration Judges Is Important Too.
There is a backlog of over 2 million cases for Immigration Judges.
Without more Judges, these timelines and backlogs will continue to grow.
Currently there is funding for 734 Immigration Judges. The Bipartisan Senate Bill would provide funding for an additional 100 Judges and their associated staff. www.whitehouse.gov/...
It’s a good bill. Would definitely help speed up background checks of those seeking US entry.

United Farm Workers Of America New Immigration Process The H-2A Temporary Agricultural Worker Classification UFW
The H-2A program was first instituted to provide agricultural employers with a larger pool of workers during periods of anticipated labor shortages.
H-2A workers are non-US citizens who satisfy the regulatory requirements and who are qualified to perform the necessary duties.
In general, anyone seeking such a classification must have either a US employer, an agricultural association acting as a joint employer, or a US agent, obtain a temporary labor certification and file forms. (Officially called the “Petition for a Non-immigrant Worker”). Processing Time

On October 31, 2022, the DACA Rule cancelled and replaced the 2012 DACA Memo. All current grants of DACA and advance parole issued under the 2012 DACA memo remain valid.
Applications to renew DACA are now governed by the DACA Rule.
Advance parole remains available for DACA holders.
The DACA Rule’s fee structure is now in place. The DACA application form I-821D now has a $495 filing fee, which includes biometrics and Employment Authorization Document (“EAD”) services.
Presently, those who currently have DACA or had it within the last year can file for renewals of their DACA and work permits.
The federal government is currently accepting, but not granting or even processing, applications from first-time applicants and anyone whose DACA expired more than one year ago.
The government has chosen, without explanation, to treat renewal applications from DACA recipients who's previous DACA grant expired more than one year ago as first-time DACA applications, which it cannot decide on under the Texas court’s decision that has now been affirmed by the Fifth Circuit. Advance parole eligibility remains the same for current DACA holders.
It is critical that Congress take steps to provide a permanent legislative solution now! Dreamer Advocacy Resources 2023
In 2022, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a Final Rule, that with limited changes, continues the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy that was announced in 2012.
The rule generally adopted the 2012 DACA. Including the current threshold criteria for qualifying for DACA, as well as the existing process for DACA applicants to request work authorization when applying for DACA.
USCIS will continue processing DACA renewal applications but will not grant any initial applications for DACA.

The Untrue Beliefs Regarding, Any Connections-Between Immigration And Crime / Stanford University-Stanford, CA Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR)
For more than a century, numerous studies have confirmed two simple yet powerful truths about the relationship between immigration and crime.
Immigrants are less likely to commit serious crimes or be behind bars than the native-born and high rates of immigration are associated with lower rates of violent crime and property crime. Immigration And Crime The American Immigration Council is a non-profit, non-partisan organization.

Cuba has no pacemakers, leaving patients suffering from heart disease with a three-year wait for the lifesaving devices.
While the US embargo prevents the country from purchasing pacemakers in the global market, some 70 elderly Cubans are currently unable to leave their hospital beds until they receive the devices. Cuba urgently needs 2,000 pacemakers to treat its heart patients.

Invictus, Unconquered, Captain Of My Soul!
Out of the night that covers me. Dark as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning's of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed.
And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)
Warrants-Administrative ICE vs Judicial
Unlike a Judicial Warrant, An Immigration-ICE Administrative Warrant Does Not Authorize A Search Or Entry Into Your Home, Or Other Private Areas.
An ICE Warrant; Is Not, The Same As, A judicial Subpoena-Search Warrant. If that is the only document ICE brings to a home raid, agents do not have the legal right to enter a home.
vs
A judicial Subpoena is a written court order requiring a person to testify as a witness in an investigation or produce documents, papers, or other evidence.
A judicial Warrant Must Be Signed By A Judge And Say United States District Court, Or, A State Court At The Top Of The Page.
An ICE-Administrative Warrant - An (Immigration Warrant) Is only good for ICE, to use and try to get, an actual, Judicial warrant from a Court.
Judicial Warrant - A Warrant Signed By A Judge.

Kos Says “Always Make A Copy-Of Your Posts.”
Always Listen To Kos. He’s Very Smart. Obviously! That advice has saved me many times. I’m neurotic. I make several copies as I update. I just copy-past, new edit over copy’s draft.
Often, I make second and third finished copies too.
Takes me months, years counting updating and editing to perfect my posts.
I write informative links etc. They’re not something that changes. Just morphs into a better version.
For instance, as with this post. I wrote the original of this post in 2019. Screwed up, lost text in draft. Couldn’t copy.
But I had perfect copies because I listened to Kos.
All, most of the links here, are from that original diary post. Updated, re-researched and edited.
Making Diary/Post Copies Is Easy.
In A New Tab Open-New Diary,
Go To Written Diary You Want To Copy.
Select All / Diary/Post-Page Will Highlight.
Go To Copy (New Blog Entry)-Paste And Save-Name It Copy And Title.
Save
Same With Updating Copy-After Editing Diary.
Go To Original Working Draft,
Select All, Copy,
Go Back To 2nd Copy Draft And Select All, Paste.
Save, (Save, Save, Save, Whenever Writing.
After a few times it is, so easy. I have the whole process down to I estimate under 10 seconds. And gives me the confidence that I always have a perfectly edited copy, (or two, or three, or more).
Saw post from other Kossacks about how they lost a post-diary.
It's so easy to avoid having, “a lost diary!”
I’ve had this happen to me also, once or twice. I had tried to update and embedded a photo. Sometimes this doesn’t work for some reason.
*Some sort of notice at top of page pops up. Says can’t use photo, or something). I’ve seen it before and know not to click ok on it. Since I continually Save, I just (x) out-exit the page.
I don’t know what it is but know that clicking ok, will erase my entire draft’s text Did that once. Even though I quickly just exited the text in the draft was gone! Never, click on ok. That erases entire diary.
Luckily, I always listen to Kos. I know how smart he is. He’s a lot smarter than me.
I Always Listen To Kos. And To Kossacks!
I’m amazed at how smart I’ve become since knowing Kossacks. After 15 years, I should have a PhD in Kosology!
I’ve always been a hard worker and “quick on the uptake.” As they say in NJ.
