American Immigration Lawyers Association

Lawyers' bodies have condemned the executive orders on immigration signed by US President Donald Trump alleging that it encourage racial and religious profiling and almost exclusively target communities of colour.

If the U.S. Supreme Court endorses a key immigration initiative of President Barack Obama protecting more than 4 million illegal immigrants from deportation, his administration could face a surge of applicants and little time to process them before he leaves office in January 2017.

Obama administration officials announced on Friday that they will propose a fix to a notorious snag in immigration law that will spare hundreds of thousands of American citizens from prolonged separations from immigrant spouses and children.
