I'll be here for the next 5-6 hours. As usual, there are countless topics given the rapidly changing immigration landscape and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and I'll try to do the same in my answers.

Edit: I am taking a break now and will return later this afternoon/evening to respond to any comments and answer any questions. Thank you everyone for a great and engaged AMA so far.

Hello! I do have concerns relating to the U.S. so I will put my questions out there.

I know somebody who is a U.S. citizen, however they are originally from Perú. They have official citizenship meaning they went through the whole process and gotten those documents.

Are they at risk of losing their citizenship and being deported with the current administration standing on immigration?

And a separate question(You don't have to answer this, but I will ask it however)

Is this anything I can do about this? I'm not willing to see myself worse off in 4 years after this situation.

And I want to do something about it, I'm aware you are just an attorney; but I haven't been able to find an answer nor think of an answer to what I could do; but I really want to do something about this, so what could I do?

However, thanks again for doing this AMA.
