The so-called "Big Beautiful Bill"

Last week, on July 4, 2025, President Trump signed a new bill that changes many parts of the immigration system. It is a very large bill that also includes changes to taxes and spending, but we are focusing on the parts that affect immigrants and families.

As an immigration law firm, we want to be clear: we do not agree with the goals or the message of this new bill. We believe in protecting immigrant rights and treating every person with dignity. At the same time, we know that many people are scared and confused, and we want you to know that we are here to help and support you.

What’s in the Law?

Here are the most important immigration changes in this new law:

1. More money for immigration enforcement

• The government is giving a lot more money to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol.

• They will hire thousands of new officers and build new jails to hold people who are detained.

• The goal of the administration is to deport up to one million people per year.

  
  

2. Bigger and more detention centers

• The number of people who can be locked up in immigration detention will more than triple.

• This means many more people could be arrested, detained, and removed very quickly.

  
  

3. New fines and fees for immigrants

• The law creates new costs for immigrants. If you are applying for a visa, green card, or any immigration benefit, you may have to pay more.

• It also allows the government to charge heavy fines for people who are undocumented or who violate immigration rules.

  
  

4. More power to deport and remove people quickly

• The law makes it easier for the government to deport people without giving them a chance to see a judge.

• It also allows the government to try to take away U.S. citizenship from people who are accused of serious crimes or national security concerns.

We do not support these changes. We believe they are unfair, harmful, and unnecessary. Many of these rules will hurt families, cause fear, and create confusion.

But we want to say this clearly: We are here for you. You are not alone.

We will continue to:

• Protect your rights

• Fight for your future

• Give you honest advice

• Help you prepare for what’s next

  
  

What You Should Do Now

If you or your loved ones are worried about these changes, here are some steps you can take:

• Talk to a lawyer. Don’t wait until it’s too late. We can help you understand if these changes affect your case.

• Keep your documents safe and up to date. If you are in the U.S. with legal status, make sure it doesn’t expire.

• Keep your address up to date if you are in court proceedings or have an application pending. Respond to all letters from immigration. Never ignore a notice or letter. It may have a deadline.

• Ask us questions. If you don’t understand something, please call us. We are here to help.
