On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump kicked off his second term with a series of executive orders that reshape U.S. immigration policies. These changes are already creating waves in the immigration world, and for immigration lawyers, it means a surge in client questions, urgent filings, and more complex cases. The stakes are high, and staying ahead of the demand is no easy task. The new executive orders introduce several significant policy shifts:
Increased Border Screening: More troops and heightened scrutiny at the border will likely lead to delays, detentions, and more inquiries from clients.
Ending Birthright Citizenship: A policy aiming to eliminate automatic citizenship for children born to non-citizen parents is set to take effect in 30 days, pending legal challenges.
Return of the “Remain in Mexico” Policy: Asylum seekers must now wait in Mexico while their cases are processed in the U.S., creating procedural and logistical hurdles.
Refugee Program Halted: Refugee admissions are on pause, with canceled CBP ONE appointments disrupting plans for many clients.
Termination of Humanitarian Parole Programs: Popular programs for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela have been shut down, leaving many clients scrambling for alternatives.
Crackdown on Sanctuary Cities: Sanctuary cities face funding threats and potential lawsuits for noncompliance with federal enforcement.
With these sweeping changes, immigration lawyers will likely face an uptick in consultations, filings, and revisions as clients navigate the uncertainty. How DraftyAI Supports You in Times of Change
