Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

What to expect on immigration now that Trump has won? It's a question many are asking. In this article, we will look at what to expect in terms of the deportations and other possible actions.

Deportations under the Trump administration

For the past several years, Donald Trump has been threatening to deport millions of immigrants. He has claimed that during the Biden administration, approximately 20 million immigrants came in, and that his intention is to deport those millions who came into the country. His ICE chief, Thomas Homan, has spoken in numerous interviews about the deportation plans, even mentioning that they were already working on a plan to deport millions of people.

Trump has mentioned an old immigration law that would allow him to deport immigrants without giving them the right to a hearing before an immigration judge. All of this remains to be seen, but it is clear that Trump will likely do everything he can to make good on his election promises.

The present moment: No time for panic

While the concern is understandable, this is not a time for panic or fear. Currently, Trump is not the president, and we are under the Biden administration with its rules and executive actions. We still have about two and a half months to take advantage of the rules that are in place during this administration.

For example, PD (Defense Programs) is something that is still in place that allows us to reopen cases and dismiss deportations. This is a key moment to act, but we have to move quickly. We cannot wait until January, when it may be too late.

The priority: Avoiding deportation

If you have a deportation order, it is important that you remove it as soon as possible. Deportation puts you on ICE's priority list, and more than a million people with a final order of deportation are being considered for deportation, starting with felons and fugitives, as JD Vance mentioned in a speech.

Therefore, the number one priority right now is to remove any deportation order. Many people do not even know they have a deportation order, so it is critical to investigate your situation.
