🚨 Critical Immigration Updates – April 2025
By US Legal Now
Are you tracking immigration law changes but unsure how they affect your situation? Below, we clearly explain key updates and how US Legal Now’s team can assist you or your family.
📌 1. Texas Mandates ICE Cooperation
The Texas Senate passed a law requiring counties with 100K+ residents to formalize ICE agreements.
What this means:
Immigrants detained for local violations may be transferred directly to immigration authorities – even without criminal conviction.
🔹 How US Legal Now helps:
- Assess your deportation risk if detained
- Provide preventive consultations about police encounter rights
- Prepare defense statements/documentation for Texas immigration cases
📌 2. CBP Home App: “Self-Deportation” Risks
The CBP Home app lets immigrants initiate “voluntary return” via smartphone.
⚠️ Warning: This carries the same legal consequences as formal deportation (including potential 10-year reentry bans).
🔹 How US Legal Now helps:
- Analyze risks before considering voluntary departure
- Develop alternative legal strategies (status adjustment, TPS, etc.)
- Explain real consequences in English/Spanish/Portuguese
📌 3. “Golden Card”: $5M Investor Visa
This new program offers permanent residency for $5M U.S. investors – no family or employment requirements.
🔹 How US Legal Now helps:
- Evaluate if this visa suits your situation
- Assist with immigration due diligence and documentation
- Coordinate with CPA/attorney partners for compliant investment structuring
📌 4. F-1 Visa Revocations for International Students
300+ F-1 visas were canceled in 2025 for alleged protest/political activity ties. Many lost residency rights without due process.
🔹 How US Legal Now helps:
- Emergency guidance for canceled F-1 visas
- Explore reversal options (TPS, asylum, F-1 reinstatement)
- Prepare defense letters and coordinate with schools/SEVP
📌 5. Guantánamo Detention for Irregular Immigrants
The government authorized detaining up to 30K migrants at Guantánamo – including border detainees and families.
🔹 How US Legal Now helps:
- Assist families seeking detained relatives
- Prepare parole/bond/asylum requests for detainees
- Advise on preventive measures against detention
📌 6. TPS Updates
- Renewed for Venezuelans, Haitians, Afghans, Nicaraguans
- Ecuadorian petitions under review
- No TPS for arrivals after cutoff dates
🔹 How US Legal Now helps:
- Verify eligibility for initial TPS/renewals
- Complete and file TPS applications with required evidence
- Explore alternatives (VAWA, asylum, marriage-based GC) if ineligible
