Immigration Law Made Easy Hillary Walsh

Noncitizens apprehended at the border or in the interior of the United States can be detained by one or more government agencies before or during their immigration proceedings. Certain aspects of detention can vary greatly depending on the agency with custody of the noncitizen but it's important you remember that IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE ARRESTED OR DETAINED by Immigration still HAVE RIGHTS. So if someone you love is under detention, please call an immigration attorney.

The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act (VTVPA) of 20009 was enacted to strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute serious crimes and trafficking in persons while offering protection to victims of such crimes without the immediate risk of being removed from the country. Trafficking has many different forms. Even if you came to the US or took a job, you could still be a victim of trafficking. Some signs may include little or no pay, being forced to pay off debt through work or sex, threats of violence, threats of reporting you to immigration or other law enforcement, control over your living conditions, communication, and identity documents. If you, or someone you know, is in this situation, T VISA MIGHT BE THE WAY FOR THEM.
