New documentary exposes ICE protocols

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is one of the branches of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and has several primary purposes.

Let’s see some of them:

1. Implement control and border protection protocols.
2. Oversee immigration detention centers around the US.
3. Check the merchandise that enters the country through land borders, avoiding drug trafficking.
4. Detain immigrants trying to cross borders without legal documentation and take them to detention centers across the country or initiate deportation proceedings for them.

Since President Trump took office in 2017, ICE has increased its staff considerably, and border controls are currently tighter.

In addition to that, ICE is one of the border forces that has the power and the right to detain undocumented immigrants who currently reside in the US, even if they are not in immigration detention centers.

A new documentary to be released on Netflix exposes the reality of the borders of the US, the protocols implemented by ICE and the possible repercussions of illegal immigration.

“Immigration Nation” – New documentary

“Immigration Nation” is the documentary that premieres on August 3, 2020, on Netflix.

The documentary exposes an investigation of more than three years and the filmmakers continuously recorded the work, the protocols and the processes implemented by ICE.

Their work shows the reality of border circumstances and how the Trump administration has increased measures for immigrants who decide to cross the borders of the US without prior authorization or legal documentation.

In fact, some of the cases exposed in the documentary show how multiple immigrants who pay annual taxes, have a driver’s license or even a job reference face deportation processes under the immigration policies of the current administration.

The documentary controversy

After the filmmakers announced the release of the documentary, several testimonies have come to light and created controversy among immigrant communities currently residing in the US.

For instance, ICE asked them to remove some of the content or to at least delay the premiere until after the presidential elections, which will take place in November 2020.

It also shows how family separation works with the current administration and the deportation processes of immigrant families.

Therefore, it is quite possible that after the premiere, a wave of social controversy will break out in the US. This adds up to the fact that the elections are approaching and that we are going through a global pandemic.

Follow legal immigration processes

This documentary shows the reality of the border forces and the deportation processes of immigrants who decided to enter the US illegally.

However, when you follow the established processes and obtain a legal entry or residence permit, the outcome of your immigration journey is completely different.

It is imperative to avoid illegal immigration at all costs. The most important thing is for you to seek reliable help so that your immigration application is solid enough to be successful.
