Dramatic steps are being taken by Federal officials in order to comply with a court order, that includes executive action by President Obama on immigration; the officials are knocking on doors of immigrants and warning them that they could be in danger of being deported by the end of the month.
Issues facing the Obama government fell way beyond proportion earlier in the month, with the District Judge of Texas demanding that the DHS Secretary and other top immigration officials appear in his courtroom and explain why they should not held on contempt of court.
The DHS which is monitoring President Obama’s immigration actions, had issued 3-year work permits to immigrants who stood protected from deportation, even after the Texan judge had blocked such documents.
The immigrants in the spotlight were those who had been brought to the country illegally when they were children, but were protected under a 2012 Obama directive.
Government officials are striving to ensure that the three-year work permits that were mistakenly received by the immigrants are changed to two years. But by this Friday, it is being planned by USCIS officials to get in touch with the immigrants who have not returned their three-year work permits to warn them that their protection from deportation and ability to work will end altogether by July 31, so they would have to return their three-year documents, according to the memo issued.
