The Supreme Court didn’t rule on whether Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship is legal—but it did rule that a single federal judge can’t block it nationwide. That means the order could go into effect in states that weren’t part of the original lawsuit. This is not a decision about the 14th Amendment. It’s about limiting judicial power—and it puts birthright citizenship protections on shaky ground. Here’s what you need to understand before the injunction lifts on July 27. #SCOTUS #ImmigrationLaw #BirthrightCitizenship #ExecutiveOrder #LegalUpdate #14thAmendment #TrumpImmigration #KnowYourRights #ConstitutionalLaw #ImmigrationNews #FederalCourt #LegalExplainer #bradbernstein

Trump’s new bill includes a hidden 1% tax on ALL remittances. That’s a second tax on your income just for helping your family abroad. Here’s what the bill says and how it could hit millions of immigrant households. #ImmigrationLaw #RemittanceTax #HiddenTax #TrumpBill #BradBernstein #ImmigrantFamilies

Can CBP Search a U.S. Citizen’s Phone at the Airport? You’re a U.S. citizen flying home—so your phone’s off-limits, right? Wrong. CBP can search your device without a warrant. Here’s what they can—and can’t—do, and how to protect your privacy at the border. #KnowYourRights #BorderSearch #CBP #USCitizen #ImmigrationLaw #PhonePrivacy #BradBernstein #AirportSecurity #WarrantlessSearch #TravelTips ⸻

🚨 Bannon is now openly talking about deporting Elon Musk — but here’s the twist: Musk himself may have once been undocumented in the U.S. 👀 Born in South Africa, Musk came to the U.S. on a student visa — but when he dropped out of Stanford just two weeks in, that visa likely became invalid. In a 2013 interview, even his brother admitted they were "illegal aliens" when starting their first company. Was Elon Musk undocumented? Did he self-sponsor a green card under EB-1 or EB-2? Did he pay a penalty under 245(i)? Let’s break down what likely happened — and why Trump’s deportation talk might hit closer to home than he realizes. #ElonMusk #Deportation #UndocumentedImmigrant #ImmigrationLaw #StudentVisa #245i #GreenCard #USCitizenship #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #ImmigrationFacts #FYP #EC

Watch this video to know your rights when ICE raids your place of empoyment. Brad explains what to do if ICE comes to your place of employment. Employers should not allow ICE agents into the workplace without a judicial warrant. As an employee, you are not obligated to speak to ICE or stand in groups discussing your immigration status. If you feel threatened, do not run away, as this can escalate the situation. Instead, try to calmly walk out the door if it’s safe to do so. Protect your rights and consult an immigration attorney immediately if you’re affected. #KnowYourRights #ICEEnforcement #ImmigrationLaw #BradBernstein #SparBernstein #EC

Green card holders: don’t be afraid to travel. Your green card can’t be revoked at the airport — unless you give it up voluntarily.

ICE isn’t fighting crime. They’re deporting people for civil immigration violations—most of whom overstayed visas and committed no crime at all. So why are we seeing military-style raids in Los Angeles? Being undocumented is not a crime. Running across the border might be, but you’d have to prove it and unless caught in the act, it is almost impossible to prove. Re-entering after deportation is—but that’s rare. And document fraud? That gets caught at the airport or the border—not in a grocery store in L.A. This is not about law enforcement. This is about fear, control, and political theater. #ImmigrationLawyer #ImmigrationFacts #KnowYourRights #ICEraids #LAImmigration #UndocumentedNotIllegal #ImmigrationTruth #BradBernstein #ImmigrantRights #ImmigrationTikTok #CivilRights #StopTheFear #immigrationmyths

Trump’s big, beautiful bill doesn’t just build a wall — it builds detention centers, floods ICE with billions, and hits immigrants with massive new fees. ⸻ 📝 Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” is heading to the Senate — and it’s about to reshape immigration by turning it into a high-cost, high-punishment system. The bill includes: 🧱 $45 billion for wall construction and expanded detention 🚔 $31 billion to hire ICE officers and ramp up removals 📡 $6.2 billion for surveillance tech 💰 $12B to DHS, $12B to CBP And then come the fees: – $250 for unaccompanied children filing as Special Immigrant Juveniles – $500 for Temporary Protected Status (up from $50) – $100 for asylum applications – $550 for initial work permits (asylum/TPS) – $275 for work permit renewals – $5,000 fine if caught crossing without papers – $5,000 more if you miss your deportation hearing – Up to $1,500 fee if a judge grants your green card – $250 minimum fee for student and certain work visas – ESTA goes from $21 to $40 This isn’t immigration reform — it’s a debt trap #️⃣ #ImmigrationFees #TrumpImmigration #ICEFunding #BorderWall #ImmigrationLaw #USCIS #ImmigrationBill #TPS #AsylumSeekers #BradBernstein #PayToStay

Replying to @SonofSparta Title: Have a U.S. Passport from Your Parents? That Might Not Be Enough. 🇺🇸📄✋ Description: Brad Bernstein warns: Just having a U.S. passport through your parents is NOT definitive proof of citizenship. 📌 Here’s what you need to know: ✅ If you got your U.S. passport because your parent was a citizen, but you never filed for a Certificate of Citizenship (N-600)… ❌ That passport alone might not protect you. 📌 Brad has seen this happen: • People had their U.S. passports revoked • Their citizenship questioned years later • Some ended up undocumented in the U.S. • Others were stuck abroad and couldn’t re-enter 📌 Bottom Line: The only definitive proof of U.S. citizenship through your parents is a Certificate of Citizenship. If you’re a citizen—protect it the right way. Questions about your citizenship status? Drop them below or contact us—our link is in the bio!

Deported? You Still Own Your Money. Getting deported doesn’t mean the U.S. government takes your money. Your bank account and funds still belong to you. You can wire the money home or use other legal methods to transfer it.

There’s a LOT of misinformation on TikTok right now about traveling with a green card. Some attorneys are even saying, “Don’t travel—you could get deported!” That’s just not true. ✅ If you don’t have a criminal record ✅ You didn’t commit fraud to get your green card ✅ You haven’t been living outside the U.S. long-term You are legally allowed to travel and re-enter the U.S. Has it always been true that green card holders can be questioned at the airport? Yes. Has the law changed under Trump? No. And remember: Only a judge—not a CBP officer—can take your green card away. If you’re pressured to surrender your card at the airport, you say: “I want to see a judge.” Period. I’m Brad Bernstein, Managing Partner at the Law Offices of Spar & Bernstein.

Work Permit Expired? You’re Still Legal to Work — Here’s Why If you’ve filed to renew your work permit before it expires, and you have the receipt notice from USCIS, you’re automatically authorized to work for up to 540 days — that’s nearly 18 months of legal work status! So if your permit expired on January 1st but you applied for renewal in time, you're good to go until well into the next year. And if your employer tries to fire you? That’s illegal. Tell them: “I’m authorized to work under 8 CFR 274A.” Need help with your work permit or facing issues at your job?
