A Controversial Decision That Will Affect Over Half a Million People The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians will be eliminated, affecting more than 500,000 people currently living legally in the U.S. under this program. TPS for Haitians will officially expire on August 3, 2025, with its termination going into effect on September 2, 2025—a date after which deportations could begin. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem determined that conditions in Haiti have improved enough to justify ending the program, based on USCIS reports and consultations with the State Department. However, human rights organizations and international experts warn that Haiti remains in a state of extreme crisis: Widespread insecurity, gang violence, mass displacement, and institutional collapse continue—contradicting the official narrative of improvement. The U.S. State Department still maintains a Level 4 travel advisory for Haiti, urging Americans not to travel to the country due to violence, kidnappings, and lack of adequate medical care.

California has long been home to millions of immigrants—from the agricultural fields of the Central Valley to the vibrant Latino communities of Los Angeles and San Diego. While it's one of the most inclusive states in the country, 2025 has brought a much more intense immigration climate, with massive ICE operations, raids, and an increase in detentions nationwide. If you're an immigrant living in California—documented or not—you need to be more prepared than ever. These are 7 things you must know today:   California Is Still a Sanctuary State... But ICE Is More Active Than Ever California maintains sanctuary laws that limit local police collaboration with federal agencies like ICE. However, that doesn’t stop ICE from acting independently, which is exactly what’s happening now: ICE has ramped up operations in public spaces, workplaces, and even homes. Raids have become more frequent, especially in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. The mass judicial warrants issued in 2024 remain active in 2025, allowing for fast-tracked arrests.  Don’t let your guard down—state…Read More

However, state laws and the political climate can make living here without legal status especially risky. If you live in this state, you need to be more prepared than ever. These are 7 immigration realities every immigrant in Georgia should clearly understand:   1. Georgia has one of the highest deportation rates in the country Atlanta is known as one of the strictest immigration jurisdictions.

Florida is one of the states with the largest immigrant populations in the U.S. However, it’s also one of the most complex in terms of immigration laws and cooperation with federal immigration agencies. If you live here and don’t have legal status or are in the process of adjusting your status, this information can help protect you and guide you toward safer decisions for you and your family. Here are 7 key things you should know about immigration in Florida:   Florida Cooperates with ICE Many counties and cities in Florida have agreements with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

A Victory for Migrants' Rights: Judge Orders 21-Day Notice Before Deportation In a historic ruling on April 22, 2025, federal judge Charlotte N. Sweeney, from the District of Colorado, has imposed a new standard in the deportation process in the United States: from now on, the government must provide at least 21 days’ notice in the migrant’s native language before executing a deportation. This decision comes in response to reports of expedited deportations, such as the case of 238 Venezuelans sent to El Salvador without time to appeal or understand their rights. The government had been using a law from 1798, originally designed for times of war, as legal grounds for these accelerated procedures. Judge Sweeney challenged this practice and defended every human being's right to due process. Why is this ruling so important? It reinforces the right to due process, ensuring that migrants have time to prepare their defense. It protects vulnerable communities from arbitrary and uninformed decisions. It questions the misuse of outdated…Read More

Nearly one million migrants affected by the revocation of legal status under the Trump administration. Learn what to do if you used CBP One and how to get legal help to avoid immediate deportation. The administration of Donald Trump has revoked the legal status of approximately 900,000 migrants who entered the United States using the CBP One app, which was implemented under President Joe Biden’s administration to manage asylum appointments at the southern border. This measure took effect in early January 2025 and requires migrants to leave the country immediately; otherwise, they could face expedited deportation and permanent reentry bans. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has begun sending formal notices to affected migrants, informing them of the cancellation of their residence and work permits. Additionally, a new app called CBP Home has been launched to facilitate “self-deportation,” allowing migrants to voluntarily register their departure from the country.
