This, generally, speaking, is terrible advice that may venture into the realm of actually violating the law in unauthorized practice in giving advice. As your organization is based out of a state where non-lawyers are not allowed to have equity in law firms and you absolutely need competent representation giving individualized advice to navigate what is an ill-defined, changing, and incredibly discretionary field of law, as a former criminal defense attorney turned removal defense attorney, you are sailing very close to the wind if the post is meant to represent actual advice. And I'm literally a pro open-borders advocate who absolutely would like to defund DHS all together. Aspirations and facts, sadly, do not converge necessarily.
Please please please at least go to aila.org where attorneys with expertise in the field congregate and seek advice from counsel for every single case. I stopped practicing since Trump stopped following black letter law. That is only a small part of a greater regulatory scheme. Your sample size is far too small and not based on either the text or the actual practice of the current state of things, which can change at any time and changes regularly. You also are unlikely to have redress and immigration detention exists in a way that explicitly does not implicate criminal activity in order to deny you of a lawyer at the state's expense. Seriously. This is no joke. At the very least, calling it a "hack" is begging for trouble. You know what you mean, I know what you mean, DHS knows what you mean, but DHS will pretend like you mean it literally because it can, and they are judge, jury, and executioner. They will take it as literally as they feel like. The law operates as intended, it's not a hack, it's regular order of business - which is a properly exercised case of discretion.
this is gonna be my default guide to send to people who are looking into O1's!! 💪💪💪
