order canceling DACA. The government appealed this order to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, where an appeal is still pending.
Did the publication of the new DACA regulations make any change? Actually, NO. No new applicants can get DACA status, only renewals of old applicants are processed until the Court of Appeals makes its decision about the authority of the president to make such a program.
NEW SCAMS
The abilities of scammers have no limits. Now they pretend to be calling from the IMMIGRATION COURT.
The U.S. Department of Justice issued a warning: non-citizens with REMOVAL cases in Immigration Court may get a phone call which shows up with a caller ID of the IMMIGRATION COURT. When the non-citizen answers the call, they are being told that the caller is from the Court and that because of some violation, the non-citizen is requested to send a certain amount of money.
Such calls are ALWAYS a SPOOF or a FAKE. Personnel of Immigration Courts never call anyone to request money, or even personal information.
NEW INTERPOL THREAT
INTERPOL is an international organization of POLICE DEPARTMENTS. Most countries of the world belong to it. Interpol does not do investigations or arrests or any other enforcement actions. It only distributes information from members to members of the organization.
If the police in one country wants to catch an escaped criminal, it sends a notice to Interpol and Interpol distributes it to all other Police Departments.
This is called a RED NOTICE. When the U.S. receives such a Red Notice and if U.S. ICE identifies a non-citizen as a subject of the Notice, they would probably detain this person and start REMOVAL proceedings against them.
Recently, a non-citizen from El Salvador was identified as a subject and U.S. ICE obtained a Removal Order against him. He then filed a Petition for Review to the Court of Appeals.
The court examined Interpol’s Red Notice and determined that it lacked any factual allegations against the subject person. The court declared that it is not sufficient for an Interpol Red Notice to state that a person is wanted, it must also explain in detail WHY they are wanted.
The Order of Removal was cancelled.
