This week, Managing Partner David Kolko was featured in Law Week Colorado to provide insight into the potential changes we might see in the field of immigration law under a Trump Administration.
In Tony Flesor’s Law Week Colorado article, “Election Reactions,” Mr. Kolko states:
“it’s not clear exactly what changes Donald Trump might execute when he becomes president. What is clear is the president has authority over immigration enforcement in the U.S. with certain limitations imposed by statute. Changing the actual immigration laws or regulations in the U.S. is much more difficult. If we are going to change statutes or the Immigration and Nationality Act, that requires the passage of laws in Congress. … It’s possible that the Democratic caucus in the Senate could act as a safety valve to hold back radical changes, or in order to reach appropriate compromises for meaningful immigration reforms that move the country forward.”
“One of the most immediate concerns that remains is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals for Dreamers. … President Trump could roll back DACA or change the rules for existing beneficiaries on the day he takes office. … He made statements about rolling back the DACA program on the first day of his presidency. Whether President Trump is going to follow through on his prior statement, and exactly under what terms, is still unclear.”
The full article is featured in the November 14, 2016 Print Edition of Law Week Colorado and is also available on line at lawweekonline.com.
