Immigration Lawyer in Orlando Sees Rights Violations in New Policy

best orlando immigration lawyerOrlando Immigration Lawyer Martinez Manglardi PA says new and aggressive anti-immigration measures run counter to America’s tradition of due process. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that no state shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”. In other words, the law guarantees certain rights to every person in this country – citizen or no.

Through its anti-immigration (and anti-immigrant) policies, the Trump administration is violating the letter and the spirit of the law. The administration’s latest rule change is called “expedited removal.” According to immigration lawyers, the plan is a scheme to ignore the due process clause in the 14th Amendment. Under the proposed changes, authorities would be able to swiftly eject immigrants in the country for less than two years unable to produce documentation.

 


Up until now, expedited removal applied only to undocumented immigrants arrested within 100 miles of the border. Under the new proposal,  authorities could use the process nationwide. In fact, Immigration lawyers say that nearly 300,00 non-citizens could be vulnerable. In theory, at least, the law exempts unaccompanied migrant children. Those who face persecution back home are also potentially exempt. But as the administration attacks asylum laws, these exceptions may prove fleeting.
