In his second term, President Trump has enacted significant changes to U.S. immigration policy, pledging mass deportations, heightened enforcement actions, and the suspension of refugee resettlement programs. Notably, the administration has attempted to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents, a move currently blocked by federal courts. Additionally, the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 300,000 Venezuelans has left many facing potential deportation. The shutdown of the CBP One app has also closed a pathway for migrants seeking asylum. This CLE course will provide an in-depth analysis of these and many other legal and regulatory shifts, offering practical guidance for legal practitioners navigating this evolving landscape. Attendees will gain insights into the latest policy developments and learn strategies to effectively advise clients amidst these changes."
