Pabian Law Clients,
I hope everyone had a nice week! Below, please find our latest update on the recent immigration actions that have occurred in the last two weeks:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at airports – what documents workers should carry on them
The recent increase of ICE agents at U.S. airports—partly to support U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operations during staffing shortages caused by the ongoing partial government shutdown—has raised concerns about greater immigration enforcement in travel spaces. It is understandable that employers may have foreign workers who are nervous about traveling during this time and do not know what documents they should carry. To be prepared and help ease concerns, workers should carry a valid passport, current visa/I-797A Approval Notice, I-94 Arrival/Departure record, and proof of employment (such as a job offer letter from their employer). Workers should try to stay calm and confident while traveling, knowing they are prepared and have the proper documentation.
We hope that you find these resources helpful as we all try to make sense of what is really happening in the world of immigration law.
Thanks, everyone, and have a great weekend!
Best regards,
Keith and the Pabian Law Team
