💨 Abstract

A man in Baltimore, after being robbed, assisted police and applied for a U visa, which aids victims of crimes who help law enforcement. However, his application has been delayed for 40 days, a common issue due to increased deportation pressures under the Trump administration. This delay is critical as his wife faces deportation. Lawyers report longer processing times and stricter judgments, exacerbating the backlog of nearly 4 million pending immigration cases.
