Immigrants without legal status are living in fear as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues to carry out nationwide raids as part of President Donald Trump’s “Protecting the American People Against Invasion” executive order he issued last week after taking office.
Many immigrants that are undocumented or those without legal status generally avoid flying even when they have a valid driver’s license or identification as it involves coming into contact with federal agents at the security checkpoint, a process that comes with its own pitfalls and danger.
In the event that one has no option but to fly, New Jersey immigration attorney Ifeoma Odunlami has put together a list of airports she believes present a risk to those who are undocumented or have no legal protections that can prevent their deportation.
In a YouTube Short video that she posted before President Trump’s inauguration that has hundreds of likes, Odunlami says the reason for warning about these airports is because “there is a Customs Border Patrol (CBP) checkpoint internally and they could screen you and ask for documents and they could put you in deportation proceedings if you don’t have them.”
