The Trump administration has quietly altered its handling of visas granted to immigrants who cooperate with criminal investigations, allowing people to be deported even while they are waiting for their visas.
The change to U visas will make immigrants far less likely to report serious crimes, say immigration attorneys, who argue it also reflects the Trump administration’s efforts to deport as many immigrants as they can from the United States.
“This is going to have a chilling effect,” Eileen Blessinger, a Falls Church, Va.-based immigration attorney, told The Hill, because “by applying, you’re essentially reporting yourself to ICE but now there’s a risk that ICE might pick you up.”
The change was announced in a revised Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) directive released on Aug. 2.
The directive allows ICE to give permission for people to stay in the country as they await their U visas, which is a class of visa given to people who are cooperating with criminal investigations. But it also allows ICE to deport pending U visa applicants at their discretion.

Is there any statistical evidence reporting crime goes up and crime goes down in 'immigrant' neighborhoods when illegals are not deported?
If they weren’t here, they wouldn’t have become a victim.
How many of them staged crimes done upon them in hopes of getting a visa quicker?
Sorry, no sympathy since they are committing a crime every day they’re here illegally.
That claim just makes no sense. Who participate perhaps, but cooperate, questionable.
The Hill is PURE TRASH.
Illegal Aliens deserve no representation.
If they are here illegally, it’s time to go.
Attorney’s who try to make money off them, or simply help them avoid the penalties associated with their crimes, should have their licenses suspended for six months, a year, or permanently, depending on how many times they’ve been sited before.
These people are enemies of our nation, and they are not following any oath related to adhering to the laws of our nation, let alone the U. S. Constitution.
They are in contempt, should be recognized as such, and handled accordingly.
“reflects the Trump administration’s efforts to deport as many immigrants as they can from the United States.”

I dont see any problem here.
“The Hill is PURE TRASH.”
****
can you repeat that 10 more times? We cant read you..
A U-Visa lets victims of crimes who meet certain requirements stay in the United States.
With that knowledge it now makes sense.
Do you have your selector switch set to Rock&Roll?
If they want to be truly safe from crime and drugs, etc..., simply go back to Mexico or Somalia or any other 3rd world country (like CA, CT, NJ, NY, MA, DE, and MD) where they will be assured of a safe and happy life...
Every illegal is guaranteed responsible for one international crime.
TY I saw that. Sorry.
Sorry.
I find the 24 second pause between replies 8 and 9 suspicious. Were you checking the target for hits? Were you reloading?
