When you arrived in Pennsylvania as an immigrant, you assumed there might be challenges ahead as you slowly became integrated with your new surroundings. However, you had high hopes because raising your family in the United States has been a long-time dream of yours and it was finally coming to fruition. Perhaps you’re one of many immigrants whose ultimate goals include applying for U.S. citizenship. Avoiding immigration detention and other deportation-related issues may also be a high priority.

Any number of issues can arise that make your adjustment period stressful. You may still be struggling to speak, read, write and/or understand English. Perhaps you’re learning a new job at the same time you are trying to settle into a new home and become acquainted with neighbors. These are all comparatively minor issues that you will likely overcome in time. However, if an immigration detention problem arises, finding a solution may prove much more difficult.

There has been a drastic increase immigrant arrests in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Some families have been devastated when Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have shown up at their homes, workplaces or other locations to take their loved ones into custody on suspicion of violating U.S. immigration law. News is widespread regarding worrisome conditions in many immigration detention centers throughout the country. Sadly, in fact, some people have died while residing in such facilities.

Immigration detention is a serious issue that can cause many immigrant households high levels of stress. The good news is that you don’t have to try to resolve such problems on your own.  If you have a question about U.S. immigration law or are worried about a current incident, you can reach out for legal guidance and support by requesting a meeting with an experienced Pennsylvania  immigration law attorney.
