Attorney Sebastian J. Simon on Immigrant Rights and Current Enforcement in Texas

Immigration enforcement in Texas is evolving rapidly, and understanding your rights has never been more important. Recently, immigration attorney Sebastian J. Simon spoke with the Texas Tribune to share his expertise on current immigration policies, immigrant rights, and how individuals can protect themselves amid heightened enforcement.

In the interview, Simon highlights key issues, including:

How expedited removal and increased enforcement actions affect immigrants across the state.

The importance of knowing your legal rights when interacting with law enforcement or ICE agents.

Practical steps that immigrants and families can take to stay prepared, including keeping proper documentation and having legal counsel ready.

Misconceptions about “safe” interactions — Simon emphasizes that any undocumented immigrant could potentially face detention, making awareness and preparation critical.

Simon also reassures the public that, despite the stricter measures, there are still opportunities for immigrants to pursue relief, adjust status, or defend themselves legally. His guidance underscores the importance of consulting a qualified immigration attorney rather than relying on unofficial sources.
