In Florida, an immigrant from Estonia is arrested, awaiting political asylum

Estonian immigrant Sergei Savin was detained in Florida. He lived in America for 18 years. Tightening immigration measures - using the example of the sunniest US state.

Last week in Florida, the American immigration service detained Sergei Savin, an immigrant from one of the countries of the former USSR. According to the information that is already there now, Savin 18 lived in America for years: 6 years ago he filled out documents for political asylum, was noted every year in the immigration service, and during the next visit he was sent to a deportation prison.

Immigration lawyer Charles Reuter said that the conditions of his detention are not like a 5-star hotel.

“Quite harsh. But you know, the worse thing is that if you are detained in Miami, then they can then be taken to Alabama or to another state. It's difficult to find where you've been taken and then find a local lawyer who can help with your case,” Reiter said. “I would say that the immigration service is not very transparent, it is not very open, so it can be very difficult to get information about a person’s condition, where he is.”

Charles Reiter says signs of tightening immigration enforcement in Florida include not only increased raids and arrests, but also denials of political asylum and even the denial of immigrant investor visas, which were not difficult just a few years ago.

“Yes, people are being caught. To be honest, time will tell. It seems to me that the administration itself has not yet decided what rules they will follow. Today there are some rules, tomorrow there are others. At the same time, there is some resistance from states and cities. Sometimes the federal authorities say one thing, and then the states, most notably California, disagree on many things. They will also not use force against immigrants,” the lawyer believes.

About a million illegal immigrants now live in Florida. This is approximately 5 percent of the entire population of the “sunshine state,” which is now one of the largest in the United States in terms of the number of illegal immigrants.

Almost every week in Florida, another arrest of illegal immigrants is reported. There are 4 small immigration prisons in the state.

One of them, “Chrome,” is located on the territory of a former US military base. But even there there are only a few hundred places. Just recently, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala came to pay a speeding fine and ended up in immigration jail.

Sometimes it is difficult to understand why the immigration service has turned its attention to a particular person.

“Yes, not everyone wants to live according to the law. For some reason, many people think that by coming here they can break the laws and no one will pay attention to it. There are especially a lot of people who engage in immigration fraud: pseudo-lawyers. There are a very large number of them, especially in Florida. They take money from people, people come to them, they fake their stories. Immigration officers are not stupid. They see all this and start an investigation or simply refuse people. And then they can still be arrested and deported,” says Steve Dudnik, head of the detective bureau.

Recall that if you received a green card, this does not mean that it is a priori reserved for you. In some cases, USCIS may take away you have the right to be a permanent resident of America.
