Congratulations to our own George Rodriguez on receiving the State Bar of Texas' Mentorship Award for the Immigration & Nationality Section!
George was recently announced as a 2022 honoree from the State Bar of Texas' Immigration & Nationality Section for the Mentorship Award.
From the announcement by Chair Roy Petty:
"George has the answers. For years he has guided attorneys in resolving detention and removal matters. George served for more than 14 years as the AILA liaison to Dallas ICE. He frequently speaks on immigration law topics, including advising lesser experienced attorneys to represent their clients effectively and ethically. George has taught immigration law at SMU Dedman School of Law. He serves on the Board of the National Hispanic Institute and the Bishop’s Immigration Taskforce. He is the Co-chair of the Bachman Lake Together Board. He is one of the founders of the BeGolden Journey campaign which promotes treating immigrants with dignity and compassion. And, he still finds the time to answer questions of fellow attorneys."
The United States has extended a protected status program that prevents migrants from being deported to mid-2024 for citizens of six countries, including Haiti and three Central American nations, its immigration service said on Thursday.
The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will be extended to June 30, 2024, for citizens of Haiti, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Sudan, Honduras, and Nepal, according to a document filed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Final Rule: We no longer have to wait for an asylum application to be pending 365 days before applying for work authorization. The rules were changed back to 180 days instead.
