You do have reason to be concerned. This must be handled exactly right. Both your companies either have or should have immigration attorneys. You questions should be directed to them. If you want to speak with a private attorney, you will have a consultation fee and a review of your documents will be required. Good luck.

This case seems like a difficult case to prove causation in, however, the first step to anything in this, is to send all of your healthcare providers duly executed HYPPA AZs requesting copy of ALL MEDICAL RECORDS FROM ALL DATES. They will then send you an invoice and once you pay it, and it is only copying fees, you will be send what is called a "CERTIFIED COPY" of your medical records.

Barry Eran Janay's answer
Last I checked they were being enforced, the "witness" issue you raise is a red herring since a police officer / camera technician can be called as a witness. If you're planning on blowing by red lights I urge you not to ;)

Barry Eran Janay's answer
Until it becomes harassment, as that term has been interpreted and defined by the courts, you likely have no recourse. If you are offended and wanted to get a civil restraining order that would be at significant cost for a private attorney to do for you and there would not be a guarantee of any particular outcome.

Great question! The President is supposed to uphold the Constitution of the USA. If he issues executive orders or takes other actions that clearly violate the Constitution, this may be a basis for impeachment. However, there are so many nuanced interpretations of Constitutional law that a President may issue executive orders that are arguably couched in the Constitution.
