The Central Library in downtown Los Angeles has seen a surge in immigrants seeking free legal consultations, largely fueled by the rhetoric and policies of the Trump administration, which has fostered fear and uncertainty among the immigrant population. The library's New Americans Initiative facilitates access to immigration experts, offering services such as citizenship applications, status adjustments, and legal rights consultations. Many immigrants are motivated to secure their legal status amidst increasing deportation threats, reflecting a growing demand for guidance and support in navigating complex immigration laws.
"We've been seeing more folks who are wanting to either get their citizenship finally done or adjust their status to become legal permanent residents - and a lot of them are because of the new administration."
"Everyone right now is looking to have a plan, get their questions answered by talking to a trustworthy immigration services provider, and they need to know their rights."
