The mass deportation
policy has the
immigration system
scrambling to keep up.
What kind of scramble
is this for people
in your line of work?
Yeah, I can't tell you
times are difficult enough
like where I work
at the Community Immigration
Law Center.
There are lawyers
who are fighting every day
and it's a really tough job
just normally between
the volume and the stories
and the humanitarian side
kids and families.
But now the government is
just changing everything they do
and it is a
very difficult situation
to try and represent somebody.
If you don't have a lawyer
right now, I can tell you have
100% chance of being deported
because the rules
have changed so much.
The ground
on which we are standing
in immigration court
is changing every day
or every week.
So, without a lawyer
without the legal system
that we have
and I know lots of people
will say
'Well, the government isn't
paying attention
to court orders.'
They are, for the most part
in immigration court
where we work.
But as those all change
you don't even know
what the rules are going
to be the next day
for example.
