The current immigration policy in the United States, driven by President Donald Trump, has raised dozens of questions regarding individuals who are "at risk" of the well-known raids carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
However, despite the certainty of the capture and detention of individuals residing illegally in the United States, there are also various immigrant groups who may feel safe from these actions.
These groups are characterized, among other things, by maintaining a migratory status in process, in the process of change, or limited. But, what are the groups that may feel secure from ICE raids?
The groups that are safe from ICE raids in the United States
According to information from Univision San Antonio, these are the groups that have protection against ICE or other immigration agencies.
Individuals who have applied for a change of status
This group consists of individuals who are in the process of changing their migratory status for various reasons such as being witnesses to a crime or felonies and part of a trial or because they have been victims of domestic violence. For this type of immigrants, there is a level of "protection" against ICE as long as they present evidence certifying that they are in this process.
Asylum seekers
Asylum seekers are individuals who entered the United States with the help of a visa with the intention of applying for asylum. For these individuals, there is a security protocol against ICE and other immigration institutions until their case is resolved.
Individuals enrolled in the DACA program
Established in 2012 as a way to delay the deportation of individuals who arrived in the United States as children, but without documentation, the program continues to be a sort of "shield" for all those enrolled in this migration period driven by President Donald Trump. As long as the individual has a pending case and no criminal record, they can feel safe from ICE raids.
Visa holders for work, tourists, and talent
Any individual who entered the United States with a visa of this type can feel safe from ICE raids as long as they can prove that the visa is valid and they have not exceeded the stipulated time for their stay.
