I’ve been practicing immigration law for almost 25 years, but I’ve never thought of myself as an “ordinary” immigration attorney.

What is actually happening with the “mass deportations” and “immigration crackdown” so far?
1. 8,000 people have been detained so far as part of the Trump administration’s “targeted enforcement”. These high-end criminals with outstanding arrest warrants are called the “worst of the worst”.
