Immigration support services in the United States are adapting to the changes imposed with the enactment of provisions in President Donald Trump's so called Big, Beautiful Bill.
Managing Director of Caribbean Immigrant Services in the US, Irwine Claire, speaking Sunday on Radio Jamaica's Beyond the Headlines, said there's been a noticeable shift away from public immigration information fora due to fear of detention.
He acknowledged that even churches have become more cautious about discussing immigration issues publicly and that assistance is mostly provided discreetly in one-on-one situations.
Mr. Clare is also urging immigrants to verify information before sharing on social media platforms, including WhatsApp.
Marlon Hill, a Jamaican attorney in Florida, echoed the concern about misinformation circulating in community networks, compounding the distress for undocumented and green card-holding Jamaicans.
He said much of the content shared via WhatsApp is not fact-checked and adds unnecessary stress to an already anxious immigrant population.
