Here is a condensed summary of the main points from the text in HTML format:
The narrator discusses recent changes in immigration policy under the Trump Administration. Several high-profile arrests and deportations of green card and visa holders have sparked fear that more people could be targeted. The administration is holding people in detention rather than releasing them while cases move through immigration courts.
Officials now have wider discretion to deem visa holders inadmissible and revoke visas. Lawful permanent residents can also be detained while their status is reviewed. Previously, minor issues were often overlooked but now enforcement is stricter.
When re-entering the U.S., immigration officers can decide whether to allow visa holders to enter. U.S. citizens may also face increased searches of electronic devices. Naturalized citizens could have their status revoked.
The administration plans to reinstate travel bans against multiple countries soon. Some may face total bans while others limits on permanent migration.
Visa and green card holders staying in the U.S. can face deportation proceedings for serious crimes. Judges generally make final deportation decisions.
If detained, immigrants have rights to remain silent, refuse searches in most cases, and ask for a lawyer immediately. Advocates recommend always carrying immigration papers.
