Q: If a dreamer wants to travel within the U.S. and has a removal of deportation, can he still travel? He's traveled before
He's traveled to five different places in the US with the former administration. Although protected as of Tuesday, he still wants to make sure traveling within the states is possible with a removal of deportation. Thank you!
A:
There is nothing about the President's order that would trigger deportation or removal if someone is traveling within the United States. If he is in removal proceedings, then he is in administrative proceedings to determine his removability under immigration law.
The proceedings are conducted in Immigration Court in front of a judge. Your friend should have an attorney (not required but recommended) and show up to every hearing. If your friend is concerned, he can keep his attorney's number on him to call in the case of an emergency.
