Immigration Advise from Nigerian embassy in New York

(please send to all Nigerians you know in the US).

Permanent Residents:  Please carry your Green Card in your wallet, it is the law. Leave a copy at home.

Visitors: Print out your I-94 and carry with your unexpired passport.
If your papers are about to expire, put in for an extention and carry your receipt with your passport.
They have speeded up deportation of all citizens of other countries.
If you are illegal or have committed misdemeanor × 3=felony, make arrangement now with people who can take care of your kids, store and mortgage in case you are arrested and imprisoned or deported.

Naturalised citizens especially black or anyone with accent, order a citizenship card that you can carry in your wallet.

General advise: Don't stay out late, don't run a red light, don't get involved in anything that will involve police fingerprints. 

More than anything, have a next of kin or friend or your pastor or imam that can check on you every now and then if you have any reason to worry about your status or your past.
Neighbours, check on neighbours. This, like any other thing is a phase, it will pass but don't fall victim and don't be a collateral damage.
May the Lord see us through this season.
