Fairness for Immigrant Families Act: Protection and Support
This act aims to protect immigrant families, combat immigration fraud, and promote citizenship. It introduces changes to facilitate legal residency, provides protection against deportation in certain cases, and offers support for victims of fraud, which can significantly impact the stability of many families in the U.S.
Key points

Deportation protection: Introducing exceptions for minors, trafficking victims, asylum seekers, and parents of U.S. citizens.
Combating immigration fraud: Establishing new offenses for immigration service fraud and creating hotlines and websites to assist victims.
Family support: Ensuring that victims of crimes, witnesses, and those defending civil rights are not subject to removal proceedings, unless they pose a threat.
New immigrant office: Establishing a National Office for New Americans to support the integration of immigrants and refugees into U.S. society.
