New Yorkers Seek Legal Aid Amid Deportation Fears Under Trump Administration

United States

#lawyers

#deport

New Yorkers are flooding immigration hotlines ahead of President-elect Trump’s proposed “mass deportation.” Calls to the Immigrant Defense Project have doubled, with questions about asylum, deportation defenses, and preparation for enforcement.

Lawyers advise immigrants to know their rights, such as remaining silent during ICE encounters and requiring valid warrants for searches. Parents are urged to create emergency plans for their children.

Attorneys recommend filing for asylum or relief now, as future policy changes may impact eligibility. New York’s "sanctuary city" status offers limited protection against federal ICE actions. Free legal assistance is available via pro bono services and local hotlines.

German prosecutors are investigating Foreign Ministry officials accused of pressuring embassies to issue visas to unqualified applicants, including those with fake documents. Cases involve embassies in Ethiopia and Islamabad.

Concerns arise that some visa recipients aim to file for asylum, as seen with an Ethiopian applicant in Nuremberg. Allegations of nepotism also emerged, involving a high-ranking official’s wife. The Ministry confirmed ongoing investigations but declined further comment.

Authorities are vigilant about national security amid rising threats. Recent incidents, like a fatal attack at a Christmas market, highlight concerns over terrorism and individuals linked to conspiracy ideologies within Europe.

Canada

#sponsor

Canada will not accept new applications under the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) in 2025. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will process up to 15,000 applications submitted in 2024.

Canadians can still use the super visa to bring parents and grandparents for visits lasting up to five years. Using a lottery system, the PGP lets citizens and permanent residents sponsor families for permanent residency.

IRCC reduced its 2025 permanent resident target by 20%, cutting PGP allocations to 24,500 landings. The Immigration Levels Plan, revised annually, outlines these targets while now including projections for temporary residents.

New Zealand has introduced major visa reforms to address labour shortages and simplify immigration. Wage thresholds for work visas like AEWV and SPWV are removed, with employers offering market-based pay.

AEWV holders must earn NZ$55,844 to bring dependents. Work experience requirements are cut to two years, and new seasonal worker visas are added. Visa durations for lower-skilled roles are extended to three years, with interim work rights starting in 2025.

Employer accreditation rules are simplified, and construction industry hiring is eased. These changes aim to attract skilled migrants, streamline hiring, and foster economic growth, benefiting workers and employers.
