It is advisable to resolve any possible issues before a judge or other officials, prior to immigration inquiries. There is now an increased chance of detention and/or deportation under the Trump administration, as priorities are now much different than before. The broadly defined scope of the executive order, coupled with policies varying between offices, leaves little room for legal discretion. It is critical to seek the advice of an attorney to know your rights.

Prior to inquiries:

• Make sure your documents are organized, and accessible by family or close friends should you be detained.
• Create a contingency plan for children and dependents in case of emergency.
• Consult a lawyer or firm to determine the best course of action.
