Parole in Place Announcement
With the goal of promoting family unity in the immigration system. On August 19, 2024, DHS implemented keeping families together, a process for certain non-citizen spouses and non-citizen stepchildren of U.S. citizens to request “Parole in Place.”
Asylum Process
The U.S. asylum process is designed to protect individuals who fear persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. However, navigating this system is challenging, particularly in Florida's overburdened courts.
