✅ Practical Steps You Can Take Today
Check TPS Eligibility
If you're from a TPS-designated country, explore applying or renewing status with your immigration lawyer.

Use Public‑Charge Safely
Feel free to access food, housing, or health services—these generally won’t count against you in green card applications.
Emergency Aid for Crisis-Affected Immigrants
Look out for USCIS or State Department announcements specific to your country or situation.

Understand Self-Deportation Risks
If considering voluntary departure for the $1,000 benefit, consult an immigration attorney—this can affect future eligibility and re-entry rights.
“Know Your Rights” Resources
Legal aid groups are providing multi-language materials on how to respond to ICE raids, detention, and interactions with law enforcement.
 
🔍 What to Watch Next
Ongoing legal challenges to expanded deportation measures and sanctuary bans.
Legislative developments hinging on funding proposals for enforcement and potential reforms.
Any changes to TPS, emergency aid extensions, or revisions to the self-deportation stipend.
 
In short: enforcement is intensifying, but you still have some legal protections and access to certain public programs. If you or someone you know is affected, get legal advice to understand your options—from TPS to the potential pros and cons of self-deportation assistance.
