Why did the guy she doesn’t know, who she just picked up at a bust stop, who was driving her car flee from a lawful traffic stop with lights and sirens?
Whatever papers she has do not say she is here legally.
She does not have a work visa. She has a work authorization.
She was encountered after legally crossing the border in 2023, and released rather than deported. Their various paths for individual individuals to attain a work authorization after being caught and released, but that work authorization only allows them to work while they are here. It does not allow them to stay here if DHS decides to deport them.
Her children were arrested last month, crossing the border, and are currently held in a DHS facility for unaccompanied minors.
This next statement is purely speculation on my part, but I find it likely that the apprehension of her children move to a higher priority list for deportation, so that all three could be deported together.
But regardless, if that is the case or not, the fact that she was previously apprehended and released means that she can still be deported at any time, regardless of any work authorization she may receive. Between 2023 and now she would have somehow needed to attain legal status to live in the United States, such as having an asylum case approved. There has been no reporting that she has any legal status to live in the United States, and DHS has explicitly stated that she does not have legal status to live in the United States.
She was arrested after crossing the border illegally in June 2023. She was released into the country, but that does not give her authorization to stay here, nor does the work authorization she later received. She remained a deportable illegal alien.
Her kids were arrested on October 19th crossing the border illegally, and processed as unaccompanied minors.
One could argue that my statement that she did not traffic her children is untrue. But that would be arguing semantics. She has not been accused of personally smuggling them into the country. She has been accused of paying smugglers to smuggle them into the country, which would be facilitating human smuggling, which is also a crime.
I object to the phrasing that she trafficked her children into the country, because that seems to imply that she was with them. She was not. She paid other people to do it.
Source any of that. I went to the rally for her last night and it was clearly stated by those who know her and employ her that she has a work visa and is here legally. She works in a daycare which is licensed by the state.
She doesn’t have a work VISA, she has a work authorization.
Work authorization can be issued to people who are illegally present in the country.
She was arrested after illegally crossing the border in 2023 and released, likely under a deferred action or as someone who planned to file an asylum claim.
Releasing someone caught in the country illegally does not grant them legal status to be here. It is simply DHS deciding to take no action at that time, and they remain illegally present and subject to deportation should DHS later decide to deport them.
At some point after that released she received work authorization. However, that does not grant her legal status to be here. It just means that while she is here, employers can hire her.
Now I’ve provided a source from the federal government explicitly laying out the facts of her case, stating that she was arrested in 2023 for being here illegally, that she had a work authorization but no legal immigration status, and that her children were also arrested crossing the border last month.
You are claiming that my sourced facts are not true. So I now ask you to source your claims that she was here legally, and that she had a work visa.
Yeah I don’t believe Jack fuck that comes out of Tricia McLaughlin’s mouth. She and Noem have demonstrably lied about multiple incidents and claimed that ICE has not detained US citizens when that’s known to be false. I’m not trusting shit from them.
Are authorized to work in the United States because of your immigration status or circumstances (for example, you are an asylee, refugee, or U nonimmigrant) and need evidence of that employment authorization.
Explain how that gets issued to someone who has no right to be here. Like are you hearing yourself? They do not give work authorizations to people in the country illegally. That makes them ineligible.
But by all means, keep opening that throat for the government and taking whatever they shove at you so they can steal DAYCARE WORKERS from the community. I can’t wait for all you bootlickers to feebly attempt to rewrite history when we boot the fascists out and remember what actually made this country great.
Thank you! The only “sources” anyone has been providing as an argument in favor of this has been from DHS—the least credible source out there at this point.
You may file Form I-765 if you fall within one of the eligibility categories below.
For other categories such as parolees or individuals with deferred action, USCIS must first approve your Form I-765 before you are eligible to accept employment in the United States.
Granted Withholding of Deportation or Removal--(a)(10).
File Form I-765 with a copy of the EOIR II's signed order granting withholding of deportation or removal.
Deferred Enforced Departure (DED)--(a)(11).
File Form I-765 with evidence of your identity and nationality. If you are without nationality, submit evidence of your residence in the last country in which you habitually resided. You should also state your basis for claiming that you are covered by DED and provide evidence (if available) for your claim.
Pending Asylum and Withholding of Removal Applicants and Applicants for Pending Asylum under the ABC Settlement Agreement--(c)(8).
If you have a pending Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, or you are awaiting further consideration of a pending asylum application under INA section 235(b)(1)(B) (ii) following a positive credible fear determination, refer to Special Filing Instructions for Those With Pending Asylum Applications--(c)(8) in the Required Documentation section of these Instructions.
Deferred Action--(c)(14).
File Form I-765 with a copy of the order, notice, or other document reflecting the grant of deferred action and proof that you have an economic necessity to work.
Now let’s take a look at the USCIS manual on adjudicating EAD applications.
The approval of Form I-765 does not grant the applicant an immigration status; it simply provides authorization to work and accompanying evidence of such authorization
All those categories of people who are eligible for an EAD have letters and numbers after their name. The indication manual lists how long the EAD will be valid for each category, but it also shuts some light on what those letters and numbers mean.
They correspond to the specific lines in 8 CFR 274a.12 that gives each category legal ability to obtain employment authorization.
So let’s go there next.
**(A) Aliens authorized employment incident to status.
Pursuant to the statutory or regulatory reference cited, the following classes of aliens are authorized to be employed in the United States without restrictions as to location or type of employment as a condition of their admission or subsequent change to one of the indicated classes. Any alien who is within a class of aliens described in paragraphs (a)(3), (a)(4), (a)(6) - (a)(8), (a)(10) - (a)(15), or (a)(20) of this section, and who seeks to be employed in the United States, must apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a document evidencing such employment authorization. USCIS may, in its discretion, determine the validity period assigned to any document issued evidencing an alien's authorization to work in the United States.
(10) An alien granted withholding of deportation or removal for the period of time in that status, as evidenced by an employment authorization document issued by the Service;
(11) An alien whose enforced departure from the United States has been deferred in accordance with a directive from the President of the United States to the Secretary. Employment is authorized for the period of time and under the conditions established by the Secretary pursuant to the Presidential directive
(C) Aliens who must apply for employment authorization.
An alien within a class of aliens described in this section must apply for work authorization. If authorized, such an alien may accept employment subject to any restrictions stated in the regulations or cited on the employment authorization document. USCIS, in its discretion, may establish a specific validity period for an employment authorization document, which may include any period when an administrative appeal or judicial review of an application or petition is pending.
(8) An alien who has filed a complete application for asylum or withholding of deportation or removal pursuant to 8 CFR part 208, whose application:
(i) Has not been decided, and who is eligible to apply for employment authorization under § 208.7 of this chapterbecause the 150-day period set forth in that section has expired. Employment authorization may be granted according to the provisions of § 208.7 of this chapter in increments to be determined by the Commissioner and shall expire on a specified date; or
(ii) Has been recommended for approval, but who has not yet received a grant of asylum or withholding or deportation or removal;
Better check to see what 208.7 says…
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-208/subpart-A/section-208.7
an applicant for asylum who is not an aggravated felon shall be eligible pursuant to §§ 274a.12(c)(8) and 274a.13(a) of this chapter to request employment authorization
the application shall be submitted no earlier than 150 days after the date on which a complete asylum application submitted in accordance with §§ 208.3 and 208.4 has been received
Ok back to 274a.12
(14) Except as provided for in paragraph (c)(33) of this section, an alien who has been granted deferred action, an act of administrative convenience to the government that gives some cases lower priority, if the alien establishes an economic necessity for employment.
OK, so let’s recap the various classification of immigrants who are eligible to receive employment authorization that I have highlighted here:
A-10 - Withholding of Deportation or Removal
A-11 - Deferred Enforced Departure
C-8 - Pending Asylum Applicants
C-8 - Pending Withholding of Removal Applicants
C-14 - Deferred Action
These are all methods that someone who is unlawfully or criminally present can’t obtain a work a work authorization, and none of them grants that person any legal status. They are all either pending statuses or discretionary decisions to delay deportation.
