ICE and CBP to stop using the term ‘illegal alien’ referring to immigrants.

Posted on July 1, 2021 by sethlerner1964

On Monday, two federal government memos were issued stating that U.S. immigration enforcement agencies will no longer use the term “illegal alien” in official communications to refer to immigrants in the country. Specifically, ICE and CBP will discontinue the use of words “alien,” “illegal alien,” and “assimilation” from internal policy documents and communications with the public. Immigrant advocates have long condemned the use of these terms as a dehumanizing effort to draw a distinction between immigrants without the means to explore legal avenues of migration.

Biden to use ‘more inclusive’ immigration terms.

Posted on February 22, 2021 by sethlerner1964

President Biden is instructing officials to use “more inclusive” language when discussing immigration. Acting Director of USCIS, Tracy Renaud, signed a memo sent in an email Tuesday informing officials to use “more inclusive language in the agency’s outreach efforts, internal documents and in overall communication with stakeholders, partners and the general public.” Specifically, the word “alien” is replaced with “noncitizen,” “illegal alien” is replaced with “undocumented non citizen” or “undocumented individual,” and “assimilation” is replaced with “integration or civic integration.” A USCIS spokesperson said the memo was signed so that the agency “aligns our language practices with the administration’s guidance on the federal government’s use of immigration terminology.”

Reuters: Here’s How California Plans to Fight Donald Trump’s Immigration Plans

Posted on December 21, 2016 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

Reuters reports that on Monday leaders of both houses of California’s legislature introduced two bills to protect undocumented immigrants in the state from efforts to deport them once President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, 2017. One measure would set up a fund to pay for lawyers for immigrants facing deportation. The other would train criminal defense attorneys in immigration law. “Immigrants are a part of California’s history, our culture, and our society,” stated Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon. “We are telling the next administration and Congress: If you want to get to them, you have to go through us.”
