Immigrants in crisis seek help from legal aid agency
Pisgah Legal Services reports a 253 percent surge in requests for immigration help as fear over Trump administration policies grows. The panel at Grace Lutheran Church featured attorney Shoshana Fried and director Jim Barrett, who said undocumented residents avoid reporting crimes and risk deportation. They assist families with power of attorney, custody planning, and caution about differing enforcement priorities under new rules. The issue affects long-time residents from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, and farmers worry about labor supply while awaiting a federal solution.
