Advocates: Noncitizens can take these steps

Moves to be made before Trump presidency

Immigration lawyers and advocates in Michigan are preparing their clients ahead of President-elect Donald Trump assuming office in January.

Although details remain unclear, Trump promised on the campaign trail to conduct the “largest deportation operation in American history,” and has suggested using local law enforcement and the National Guard to implement that plan.

In 2022, there were 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., including 130,000 in Michigan, according to a Pew Research Center analysis using American Community Survey data. Immigrants who don’t have citizenship but who have the legal right to stay in the U.S. may lose authorization if the incoming Trump administration ends or changes policies.

Here are some specific steps that the legal services nonprofit Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC) recommends noncitizens – which covers a broad spectrum of immigrants who don’t have citizenship – can do now:

What to know:

  • MIRC says noncitizens can learn their rights and prepare their families. For more information, go to bit.ly/MIRCKYR.
  • Ensure the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has the correct mailing address if there’s a pending application. People in removal proceedings, and who don’t have representation, can file for a change of address at respondentaccess.eoir.justice.gov/en/forms/.
  • Children or noncitizen parents should apply for or renew their U.S. passport. For more information, go to bit.ly/USpassportinformation. People in mixed-status households should secure passports from their countries of origin.
  • Legal permanent residents should apply for citizenship now, MIRC recommends.
  • Immigrants with work authorization that expires in the next six months should apply for a renewal as soon as possible, the organization says.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

Recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program that delays the deportation of undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, should submit for a renewal if their DACA status expires within six months, MIRC says.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

The federal government grants Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, to people who can’t return safely to their home countries. MIRC suggest those with this status consider whether they are eligible for another immigration status and apply for that if they are.

Immigration parole

Individuals in immigration parole programs, particularly for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ukraine and Afghanistan, are legally present in the U.S. until their parole ends.

Asylum Seekers

People come to the U.S. every year seeking protection from persecution for a number of reasons, ranging from race and religion to nationality and political opinion.

Asylum seekers should apply for their first work permit, if they are eligible, even if they do not plan to work, according to the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, which MIRC cites. Asylum seekers should renew their work permit if they have a two-year permit that will expire before 2028. They should consider applying for another immigration status, alongside asylum, including for Temporary Protected Status.

Los Defensores de los inmigrantes nos comparten estas medidas.

Acciones a tomar antes de la presidencia de Trump

Los abogados y defensores de los inmigrantes de Michigan, están preparando a sus clientes antes de que el presidente electo Donald Trump asuma el cargo en enero.

Aunque los detalles siguen sin estar claros, Trump prometió durante su campaña, llevar a cabo la “operación de deportación más grande en la historia de Estados Unidos” y ha sugerido utilizar a la policía local y a la Guardia Nacional para implementar ese plan.

En 2022, había 11 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados en los EE. UU., incluidos 130.000 en Michigan, según un análisis del Pew Research Center, que utilizó datos de la Encuesta estadounidense. Los inmigrantes que no tienen ciudadanía pero que tienen el derecho legal de permanecer en los EE. UU. pueden perder la autorización, si la administración entrante de Trump termina o cambia las políticas.

A continuación, el Centro de Derechos de los Inmigrantes de Michigan (MIRC), una organización sin fines de lucro que ofrece servicios legales, recomienda algunos pasos específicos, a los que no son ciudadanos (abarcando un amplio espectro de inmigrantes, que no tienen ciudadanía):

Qué hay que saber:

  • El MIRC dice que los no ciudadanos pueden conocer sus derechos y preparar a sus familias. Para más información, visite bit.ly/MIRCKYR.
  • Asegúrese de que el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS) tenga la dirección postal correcta, si hay una solicitud pendiente. Las personas en proceso de deportación y que no tienen representación pueden solicitar un cambio de dirección en respondentaccess.eoir.justice.gov/en/forms/.
  • Los niños o los padres no ciudadanos deben solicitar o renovar su pasaporte estadounidense. Para obtener más información, visite bit.ly/USpassportinformation. Las personas que viven en hogares con estatus mixto deben obtener pasaportes de sus países de origen.
  • Los residentes permanentes legales deben solicitar la ciudadanía ahora, recomienda el MIRC.
  • Los inmigrantes con autorización de empleo, que vence en los próximos seis meses deben solicitar una renovación lo antes posible, dice la organización.

Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA)

Los beneficiarios de DACA, un programa que retrasa la deportación de inmigrantes indocumentados que llegaron a los EE. UU. cuando eran niños, deben solicitar una renovación si su estatus de DACA vence dentro de los seis meses, dice MIRC.

 

Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS)

El gobierno federal otorga el TPS, a las personas que no pueden regresar de manera segura a su país de origen. MIRC sugiere que quienes tienen este estatus consideren si son elegibles para otro estatus migratorio y lo soliciten.

Libertad condicional para inmigrantes

Las personas en programas de libertad condicional para inmigrantes, particularmente para Cuba, Haití, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ucrania y Afganistán, están legalmente presentes en los EE. UU. hasta que finalice su libertad condicional.

Solicitantes de asilo

Cada año, la gente llega a Estados Unidos buscando protección contra la persecución por diversas razones, que van desde la raza y la religión hasta la nacionalidad y la opinión política.

Los solicitantes de asilo deberían solicitar su primer permiso de trabajo, si son elegibles, incluso si no planean trabajar, según el Proyecto de Defensa de los Solicitantes de Asilo, que cita MIRC. Los solicitantes de asilo deberían renovar su permiso de trabajo si tienen un permiso de dos años que expirará antes de 2028. Deberían considerar solicitar otro estatus migratorio, junto con el asilo, incluido el Estatus de Protección Temporal.
