Can U.S. Border Agents Search Your Phone? What You Need to Know! Traveling to the U.S.? Your electronic devices can be searched at international airports, border crossings, and ports of entry. 🚨 Brad Bernstein explains your rights and what to do: 📌 What Can Happen? 🔍 Basic search—agents can scroll through your device. 💾 Advanced search—they can connect your device to a machine and download data. 🚫 If you refuse access and have a visa, you may not be allowed in. 📌 Do You Have to Give Your Password? ❌ No, you’re not required to share passwords—but refusing means they may confiscate your phone and deny you entry. ❗ Even U.S. citizens and green card holders can have their phones searched—but green card holders have more rights than visa holders. 📌 How to Protect Your Privacy: ✔️ Use a dedicated travel device 📱 ✔️ Back up & delete sensitive data before traveling ✔️ Use a long password & two-factor authentication 🔒 ✔️ Encrypt your device & limit cloud access ☁️ 🚨 Most importantly: Stay calm.

Potential U.S. Travel Bans: Draft List of 43 Countries Under Consideration Brad Bernstein discusses a circulating draft list in Washington, D.C., detailing potential travel bans affecting 43 countries. Key Points: • Three-Tiered Ban System: The proposed travel restrictions categorize countries into three distinct levels based on the severity of the ban: • Red List (Full Travel Ban): Complete suspension of visa issuance. • Orange List (Sharply Restricted Visas): Significant limitations on visa categories. • Yellow List (Warning Phase): Countries have 60 days to address immigration concerns or risk escalation to stricter bans. • Countries Potentially Affected: • Red List: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen. • Orange List: Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Turkmenistan. • Yellow List: Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Vanuatu, Zimbabwe. • Implications: Countries on the Red List face a complete halt in visa issuance, effectively barring entry into the U.S. Those on the Orange List will see specific visa categories heavily restricted. Nations on the Yellow List are under scrutiny and must address specified immigration concerns within 60 days to avoid potential escalation to more severe restrictions. This list is currently a draft and has not been officially confirmed. The situation is fluid, and changes may occur as discussions continue.

Trump Introduces $5 Million ‘Gold Card’ for Wealthy Immigrants In a recent announcement from the White House, President Donald Trump, alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy, unveiled a new immigration initiative dubbed the “Trump Gold Card.” This program offers a pathway to U.S. permanent residency and citizenship for foreign nationals willing to invest $5 million directly into the U.S. government. The administration plans to implement this program within the next two weeks. Key Points: • Program Details: The “Trump Gold Card” requires a $5 million payment from foreign investors, granting them green card privileges and a route to U.S. citizenship. This initiative aims to attract affluent individuals who can contribute significantly to the U.S. economy. • Replacement of EB-5 Program: This new program is set to replace the existing EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which has faced criticism for fraud and inefficiency. Commerce Secretary Lutnick emphasized the need for a more straightforward and lucrative approach to attract global investors. • Legal and Legislative Concerns: The announcement has raised questions about the legality of such a program, as immigration policies traditionally require congressional approval. Critics argue that this move bypasses legislative processes and could face legal challenges. Stay informed about this developing story.

President Trump Considers Invoking Alien Enemies Act to Expedite Deportations Brad Bernstein discusses President Trump’s anticipated use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to accelerate deportations of certain non-citizen groups, focusing on gang members and drug cartel affiliates. 📌 Key Points: • Alien Enemies Act Overview: This 18th-century law allows the president to detain, relocate, or deport non-citizens from nations with which the U.S. is at war or facing invasion. Historically, it has been invoked during declared wars to manage nationals from enemy countries. • Current Application: President Trump plans to declare specific gangs and drug cartels as foreign adversaries, enabling the use of this act to deport affiliated non-citizens without standard due process. • Legal and Ethical Concerns: Critics worry that this broad application could lead to wrongful deportations of individuals mistakenly identified as gang or cartel members, bypassing their right to a fair hearing. • Potential Legal Challenges: The invocation of this act in the current context is expected to face lawsuits. Courts may need to assess the validity of the “invasion” designation and balance presidential authority against individual rights. Stay informed about changes in immigration policies. If you or someone you know could be affected, consult with an immigration attorney to understand your rights and options. #A#AlienEnemiesActI#ImmigrationLawD#DueProcessK#KnowYourRightsB#BradBernsteinU#USImmigrationL#LegalUpdate

Trump Proposes National Registry & Jail Time for Undocumented Immigrants The Wall Street Journal just reported that President Trump is set to propose a national registry for undocumented immigrants. Under this plan: 🚨 All undocumented immigrants (ages 14+) must register with the government within 30 days 💰 Failure to register? A $5,000 fine and up to 6 months in jail ⚖️ This would criminalize undocumented status, which has historically been a civil offense, not a crime 📌 This isn’t the first time the U.S. has attempted a registry: • 1940s: Used to track suspected communists • Post-9/11: NSEERS registry targeted Muslim men—later deemed a failure and scrapped This proposal would likely face major legal challenges and strain resources. Will it actually happen? We’ll have to wait and see. Stay informed on the latest immigration news.

Replying to @TDOT Can You Sponsor Multiple Wives for a Green Card? Brad Bernstein answers a wild question—can you sponsor all six of your wives for U.S. immigration? 🚨 Short answer: No! 📌 Here’s why: ❌ Bigamy & polygamy are NOT recognized in any of the 50 U.S. states. ❌ The U.S. Immigration & Nationality Act only acknowledges one legal spouse. ❌ Even if your marriages were legal in the country where they happened, only the FIRST wife counts under U.S. law. ❌ All other marriages are void for immigration purposes. 🚨 Bottom line: You can only sponsor your first legally recognized spouse. The others? Not eligible. Have questions about marriage-based immigration?

President Trump signed an executive order to end all federal subsidies for undocumented immigrants—but here’s the truth: that’s already been the law since 1996! 📌 What benefits are undocumented immigrants actually eligible for? ✅ Free public education (K-12) ✅ Emergency Medicaid (ONLY in life-or-death situations, like a heart attack) 🚫 No other federal benefits—no welfare, no food stamps, no government housing. 📢 Brad Bernstein explains: This executive order doesn’t change anything—it just makes Trump look tough on immigration without actually affecting policy.

Trump Terminates Humanitarian Parole: Will Affected Immigrants Find Alternative Paths? Brad Bernstein discusses the recent termination of the humanitarian parole program by the Trump administration, which had allowed over 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to reside and work in the United States. Key Points: • Program Termination: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the revocation of legal protections for approximately 532,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. These individuals had entered the U.S. under a two-year humanitarian parole program initiated during the Biden administration. The termination will take effect on April 24, 2025, after which beneficiaries will lose their legal status and associated work permits. • Alternative Legal Pathways: Despite the program’s termination, affected individuals may explore other avenues to remain in the U.S. legally: • Asylum Applications: Eligible individuals fearing persecution in their home countries can apply for asylum. • Temporary Protected Status (TPS): Some nationalities may qualify for TPS, granting temporary legal status and work authorization. • Family-Based Immigration: Marrying a U.S. citizen in a bona fide marriage can lead to adjustment of status and permanent residency. Conclusion: While the termination of the humanitarian parole program presents challenges, affected individuals have potential legal pathways to explore. It’s crucial to consult with immigration experts to determine eligibility and navigate the complex immigration system effectively.

Replying to @Xxx4xxxbxxx Can Elon Musk Be Deported? Here’s the Truth! 🚀🇺🇸 Brad Bernstein answers whether Elon Musk could be deported and explains when a naturalized U.S. citizen can lose their citizenship. 📌 Can a Naturalized U.S. Citizen Be Deported? ✅ No, naturalized U.S. citizens cannot be deported. ✅ Elon Musk is a naturalized U.S. citizen—which means he has the same rights as someone born in the U.S. ✅ The only exception? If a person committed fraud during their naturalization process, their citizenship can be revoked, and they could be deported. 📌 Famous Cases of Citizenship Revocation & Deportation: 🛑 Ex-Nazis from World War II who hid their identities, came to the U.S., obtained green cards, naturalized, and were later discovered. 🛑 Other fraud cases—people who lied about crimes, identity, or background to gain citizenship. 🚨 Bottom line: Once you are a naturalized U.S. citizen, you cannot be deported unless your citizenship was obtained through fraud!
